Challenge 145 - "Holiday Sparkle" + Holiday Blog Hop!

Hello Ai Fans!
Welcome to week two of our Holiday Sparkle Challenge!
Plus, a fun Holiday Blog Hop featuring our brand new Christmas stamps!

Before we get to the blog hop fun, we have a brand new launch of our Christmas 2014 stamps!
These cute images are perfect for the holidays! Fun to color and so cute to share!
You can find all the stamps in this line here.


Last week, we launched our new Ai Shakers!
These two cute sets use Action Wobbles to add a fun touch to your cards! Each set includes one wobble to get you started and you can always grab more from us here!

So to kick off these fun releases, we're hosting a blog hop! Feel free to hop through all theinspiration!



Also, we're featuring a FUN giveaway for those of you looking for some holiday stamps to use this year! We are giving away TWO free stamp sets (a Christmas 2014 and an Ai Shakers) on each blog in the hop! To enter, leave a comment on each blog in the Holiday Hop. Winners will be announced on the Ai blog on 10/9.

It's week two of our challenge!
We know SO many fun holidays are just around the corner. If you're like us, we're busy trying to prepare so they don't sneak up! Whether it's Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa ... We want to see your beautiful cards now! All your holiday project need is a little SPARKLE (because who doesn't love some sparkle?). Feel free to use glitter, gems, sequins or foil, it's your preference to add a little glitz to you project. 

Make sure to link up your sparkly projects! Good luck and have fun!

Here are the challenge rules …
✻ Please make a new card or creation. You can make any crafty item you wish; this is not limited to cards!
