Challenge Title: Happy Holly Days Hostess: Holly (hbrown) Keyword: FF16hbrown Date: Monday, October 10, 2016
Good morning, lovely stampers!!! Today is the second day of the Falliday challenges, and I'm so excited to share my challenge with you. My favorite holiday is Christmas. I was born shortly before Christmas, and, as the story goes, I went home from the hospital in a Christmas stocking.
When it came time to think of an idea for my challenge, I saw my little collection of "Happy Holly Days" stamps, and the lightbulb went off. Thus, the title of my challenge is Happy Holly Days, and I want to see your creations with holly leaves and holly berries.

How appropriate & fun that you chose a Holly & Holly Berries theme for your challenge!! Made me smile the very moment I first read it! I had an as-yet unlinked holly branch stamp, so I used it to create a border of holly and a spring to hold a Christmas ornament.
Had fun making this holly themed card with dc snowflakes and some aqua painting- touches of gold, and retro berries and leaves! Here's FF16hbrown Sending Wishes

Decided to do a modern take on holly and berries- used a hole punch for the berry centers, along with some coloring with a gold pen. Added fussy cut leaves, dc berry shapes, and ribbon with bead accents. Here's Modern Holly and Berries

I was hoping to get this done before the sun went down so I could get a better picture but I didn''t quite make it. So i had to settle for my craft table..oh well...fun challenge!
Holly is one of my most favorite things to color for Christmas
Thanks for this challenge Holly... I am totally hoping to knock out a bunch of Christmas cards during these challenges.
Love holly and I can smell Christmas already! Here's my holly card. This will probably be my last challenge for the Falliday Fest as I am leaving for Italy on Wednesday. I tried to schedule it around HYCCT not knowing that this was to take it's place and the dates would be different...but at least I got a few challenges in.

Holly, that is so cute that you were brought home in a Christmas stocking! Here's my card with my long winded description FF16Hbrown The Ivy & the Holly.
I actually ended up making not only one, but two cards based on this challenge. I was working with a DSP pacl (Berry Bouquet) that was down to just a few scraps and the ideas kept coming, so I kept going.
