My favorite part of the holiday season is the decorating. Starting In October for Halloween, then Thanksgiving, and finally saving the best for last- Christmas.
My challenge to you is to decorate a house, window, or door for the holidays. Any one of the fall/winter holidays will do just fine. I can't wait to see your holiday home decor!

oh fun, I love this challenge Joanne, going to grab some stamps to color images while I wait at a tire dealer for hubs later this morning

[sleepyinseattle]

Good morning!

[hobbydujour]

Since I already did a decorated door card a few days ago, I thought I'd go another direction with your challenge. Thanks, Joanne.

POINSETTIA WINDOWBOX

[sleepyinseattle]

It's beautiful, Sallie. Poinsettias (and gingerbread men) are my favorite holiday decorations. Can't get enough of either one!

[Crafty Julia]

Had fun taking the holiday decor challenge literally, and using my china cabinet for the focal point. Added pipe cleaner spiders, spider web, pop up haunted house, wooden plaque, and sparkly spider web. Finished with a leaf garland. Here's FF17sleepyinseattle Haunted Hutch

[muscrat]

Decorated two houses.

Seeing homes dressed for the holidays is one of my most favorite things ever! Here is my card, Home At Christmas

[artystamper]

I love decorating for Christmas - although I do less and less each year! There are certain things that have to be put out - a wreath on the door and the tree in the living room! here's my wreath in the window! Thanks for hosting a challenge Joanne!

[Shirleysgirl]

Thanks for the fun challenge! I would never have tried this without it and it turned out to be a very fun card to make, though it took me quite a while to complete.

Joanne, such a wonderful time to use my new Sizzix door embossing folder and the holiday candy dots I bought on clearance at Michaels last year!

[sleepyinseattle]

Everyone's creations are so beautiful and really getting me in the mood for holiday decorating! I wanted to do a big display outside for Halloween but we had some major tree work done the other day and then the rains began. It's hard to get the fall/winter weather to cooperate here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll have to stick to the door and porch since at least that part is covered.

[Dockside]

Here is my card - a window decorated with smiling faces! :-) FF17sleepyinseattle Snowy Window by Dockside at Splitcoaststampers

Its not too late at all, Patti, you can still complete all of the challenges by October 31st. I'm pretty far behind and may not get to the catching up until next week. My husband took this week off so I can't scamper up to my stamp room too often

[taclary]

I just love a beautiful window scene. You can see my card HERE.

[sleepyinseattle]

Happy weekend, everyone!! There is still plenty of time to get all of our Falliday Fest challenges done, another 10 days. It really is the perfect time for getting ahead of the game of holiday cardmaking. It always seem that once November arrives, time seems to speed up and Christmas is here before I am ready for it.
