FFC08 - Trigger Challenge

Welcome back to another new challenge here at Festive Friday! We had a record number of entries for our last challenge, which is so exciting for us. It's such an awesome feeling to see that we are inspiring more and more players every week to work on their holiday card stash!

As usual, we had some favourites that we wanted to highlight for you!

Shout Outs!

We thought that using a tiny wooden bird to accent her bow was brilliant on Maureen's part!

Kirsty created such a peaceful little scene with her cute little friend hanging a little star on the tree!

We loved the serene feel of Marcia's card, using these beautiful icy tones - perfect for the holidays!

And our Winner!

We had to give Tanis a win for being the only designer to post a penguin in our gallery! Easy to forget that these cute little guys are birds too!

Congratulations ladies! Please email Meredith at delightfulwaste@gmail.com for your blog badges!

This week, we are issuing a Trigger Challenge. That means that whatever the trigger conjurs up for you, we want to see it in your creations. You don't have to use the actual trigger word in your projects, but we'd love for you to tell us how it inspired you!

*Amber is feeling under the weather this week, so we've re-purposed an

older favourite project that suited our theme perfectly!

This week, we are excited to be joined by Audrey Tokach, of Pink Ink Originals! 

My name is Audrey Tokach and I am a SAHM to two beautiful boys, Logan (11) and Joshua (9).  My wonderful husband Drew and I have been married for almost 12 years.  We live in sunny Florida, but I grew up in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs and will always call it home.  I am an animal lover (just ask my 2 Cocker Spaniels and 4 felines!).  I started scrapbooking in 2001 while pregnant with my oldest son and in 2009, I was introduced to the wonderful world of stamping.  After a few orders of clear stamps and Copic markers, and I was hooked!  Apart from stamping, I enjoy altered art and 3D home decor projects.  Please visit my blog, Pink Ink Originals, to see what I've been up to!! 

Here is Audrey's *adorable* card for this week's challenge:
