This week's challenge is SFC4614 Give me a SQUARE Deal

For this week's challenge you simply need to create a square card. You are welcome to share a holiday theme card, but holiday themes are not required as long as your card is square.  We can't wait to see what you create. We'd love for you to use a Squigglefly image, to be prize eligible it's required, but everyone is welcome to play along.

Let's start with some great examples from the Holley Hobbyists:

Pat Martin created this gorgeous square card with a lovely brown background  I just love how everything stands out so boldly on this cardstock.  This beautiful image is called Ho Ho Ho Snowmen from artist Cheryl Alger. 

 

Kecia Waters  created this fun card using a new sentiment available at the store.  This hilarious image is called All About Dad from artist Cheryl Alger.  What a delightful birthday card or new year card.

 

Elizabeth Hart made this adorable square card  this week using a super cute stamp from artist  Cheryl Alger.  How cute is this?  This image  is called Maddie the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  Doesn't she make you feel jolly?

 

Jen Leeflang created this beautifully made square Christmas card.  This gorgeous image is from artist Pamela Lehto and is called Old World Santa Christmas & Holly Wreath.    I just love her beautiful coloring and the way it makes the Santa stand out on this card.

 

Darlene Pavlick created this gorgeous winter theme card with beautiful birds and holly from artist Sal Scheibe. She's using beautiful bling for snow and a Merry Christmas sentiment. This image is Christmas Birds.

 

Linda Weber created this adorable kitty card using a new image from  Niina Niskanen. This cute image is called Cat in the basket.  Don't know love her layout?  Those cute yarn balls!

 



And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog) have a wonderful image from artist Sal Scheibe and is called Gothic Christmas.  I decided to color everything in greys except for the girl, don't you love her Skeleton hair pin?

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card to play along this week.  You are always welcome to play no matter what images you use, but to be eligible for the prize, please use at least one stamp from Squigglefly!
