Another month, another year and another Stack-a-holic Template Challenge! I hope you enjoy doing these challenges as much as I do :) Seeing your creativity with our products every month inspires me more than you know! I just wish you didn't make it so dang hard to pick a Top 10!!
I loved this month's template...as I seem to every month :) Thank you to Susan at Sketch Savvy for your awesome sketch! She has lots of great inspiration there so be sure to check it out...and she's a major Stack-a-holic too!
Here is January's challenge!
I used the gorgeous Winter Magic Stack which is available at Jo-Anns still. It is so classy and beautiful. Perfect shades of blue. They worked great with my snow photos!
The photos look a little dark here but they are cute in real life :) Doesn't these prints just scream winter?!
I added the silver paper from the Dazzle Stack. Love that solid glitter, I can't stop touching it!
So there you have it! January's Template Challenge for all of my favorite Stack-a-holics. Create a layout from the sketch using one of our DCWV or Recollections Stacks. Remember, to enter you can post a photo to our Facebook page, email me a photo {erinmadsen@diecutsinc.com} or post about it on your blog and send me a link. Easy, easy! This month is tricky since I will be at CHA at the end of the month. You have until the absolute last minute of January 31st to enter and I will post our winners as soon as I am back in the office after the show.
I can't wait to see your inspiration!!!
Before I go, I want to pick a couple winners from last week's comments! Email me your addresses and I will get your prizes right out to you! {erinmadsen@diecutsinc.com}

ReplyDeleteJan B.
What a great layout. This one will be fun!
ReplyDeleteIs that dazzle paper going to be available in any more colors? or other stacks? It is absolutely awesome! I finally found it the other day. I love it! It's soft, does not leave glitter in my Cricut, and cuts well. Plus, it's dazzling!
ReplyDeleteI love this paper! I couldn't find it at the store, they were all out but I'll get it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your layout! This is a great sketch, and I'm going to try to enter each month's challenge. Then I'll have at least 12 layouts done for the year :)

I think Winter Magic may be my favorite stack. I love the blues of it and your LO is great
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I'm not a fan of Winter at all, but I love snow/winter papers. Must be the colours I'm drawn too.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. This paper stack is no longer available! I can't find it in any store or even online (except in the UK)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stack. Would work wonders with all my photos I have from living in Idaho for 6 years. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love your layout and this sketch!! I used Nana's Kitchen stack for my Easter themed layout here..... http://365daysofcricut.blogspot.com/2012/01/18-easter-layout.html
