We had a little fun this past week on our Facebook Team Page sharing “ugly sweater” cards with each other.  We are picking a winner from this group of stunning (okay…maybe awesomely ugly is a better way to describe them!) today and so feel free to leave comments helping us decide who should be crowned the Inkin’ Krew’s Ugly Sweater Contest Winner!  😉

I made my ugly sweater “masterpiece” with the Wrapped in Warmth stamp set and a little of the Warmth & Cheer DSP.

The Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies worked great to make my patchwork sweater and the Classy Designer Buttons and Christmas Trinket Embellishment topped it off.  🙂

I stamped a little sentiment from the Wrapped in Warmth stamp set inside the card too.

Jaimie Babarczy posted our first two fabulous entries into the ugly sweater contest.  So much to love on this project from the lace trim collar to the many wonderful embellishments.  😉  She’s written up a blog post with more details and you can see it here.

This “fabulous” creation by Jaimie is definitely one-of-a-kind!  The button and the bow tie cracked me up.  🙂  She’s got more information on her blog here.

Sherry Timko jumped in and shared this “awesome” creation with the quilted background and stunning lace collar.  The Santa belt is the perfect touch!

Jari Francis showed off a little Florida “style” for her ugly sweater.  Loving that pink flamingo with the silver bow!  She has the details for her card posted on her blog today so feel free to stop by and tell her how “lovely” it is.  🙂

Mary Deatherage offered up this fantastic creation with a “wonderful” mix of designer papers.  Those double stockings are awesome!  Mary also posted the details for her “fabulous” creation on her blog today so stop by to see more information!  🙂

Sue Prather played along too…but we all decided that her sweater wasn’t really that ugly!  😉

So what do you think of the creations?  Who would you pick as the winner?  We had a lot of fun laughing at our projects this week, hope to you get a chuckle out of them too!
