Create a Smile for the Holidays (+Teacher Contest Winners

Happy holidays friends!   We hope you are enjoying our 12 Holly Daze celebration so far!  We are half way through... but we have 6 more days of super FLASH sales and fabulous freebies for you!!!  (Remember, if you collect all 12 freebies, you'll have a complete set of all NEW smiles for school, work or your Gnome Sweet Gnome.)  We hope you'll continue to visit our website daily (or check your DJ emails) so you don't miss-out on the fun!   Today, we are excited to share the entries from our Holiday Teacher Contest with you! We absolutely adore seeing the projects you create.  So, first let us say THANK YOU so much to the fabulous women who took the time to enter during such a busy time of year.  Nothing makes us happier than seeing our art and fonts used to create something special in your classroom, home or world.   Click on any of the images below for more info and a larger look at these really GREAT ideas!   We hope they will inspire a smile and give you some ideas for a bit of holiday fun!  (Most of these teachers have blogs &/or a store on TPT too... so be sure to look them up!) [gallery columns="2" size="medium" ids="1145,1146,1147,1148,1149"] The hardest part about these contests is choosing a winner.  ALL of us here at DJ Inkers agreed that every single project was truly DARLING. <3 Each offered a unique idea... and they're all so different.  But, we took a vote... and the winners have been emailed their gift certificates!   In FIRST place we have... Patty Rutenbar with her fabulous Roll & Cover Christmas activity, second place goes to Carrie Malinich with her super-cute Snowman card game... and in third place, we loved Nicole Paul's Winter Gear emergent reader mini book.  Congratulations ladies!  (Psst...it's a great time to shop for smiles!  Go enjoy  Holly Daze prices with those certificates of yours. ;) )   If you're a teacher... be sure to check-out TODAY's Holly Daze sales (12/6/17)!!!  They're all about creating smiles for your classroom.   We hope you're having a wonderful holiday season so far!  May it be truly MERRY and bright.  Smiles to YOU!!! -Dianne and the DJ crew :
