Hustle & Bustle: The Winter 2010/2011 DT Search is Here!
The Hustle & Bustle of the Holiday Season is here! There are lines everywhere! Get in line here with your first challenge entry!
To enter the competition for the next Clean & Simple DT, make a CAS card following the instructions below. And then post in this thread with a link to your card. CHALLENGE #1 Keeping up with the Jones's: Have you ever seen neighbors trying to outdo each other with the holiday decorations? It's fun to sight-see, but I wouldn't want their electricity bill! Make a CAS card with a decoration theme. It can be for any holiday or even a birthday. Please add ribbon and some sort of bling.... the challenge is to still keep it clean & simple. ;) Style and beauty/cuteness is always important, but the CASness of the cards will be viewed heavily in the first elimination judging since basically it's challenging to keep it that way and there are a lot more cards I have to sadly eliminate. :D (Our current definition for a CAS card is near the bottom of this post.) Keyword: CASwinter10KJ (No spaces CAS winter 10 KJ -- not good. If you are concerned about getting it right, copy & paste it into your keyword box.) Please also post a link in this thread just in case there is an error with the keyword or if the gallery is being finicky on the judging days. Submission Deadline: Friday, Nov. 19 @ 10 PM (EST) New Rules as of Fall 2010: Please don't combine this challenge with any other current SCS challenge. Please make only one card. (It's easier to narrow down the field this way.)

Challenge #1
For some reason, as soon as I heard the "Decoration" theme, I thought of this Hero Arts stamp set with the bird carrying an ornament. Normally, it takes me a million years to come up with an idea.
