Woo hoo - I am excited......

I have some very good news to share with you all.....
Starting in January I have lots of new sponsors for the blog -
Firstly, there will be a monthly sponsor for the first Thursday in each month challenge - can't tell you yet who but a super crafty supplier.
Another lovely sponsor will be working their magic on the 2nd Thursday of every month offering digital images.
Finally there will be a monthly regular sponsored challenge on the last Thursday in the month and - as if you need more there will be other odd sponsored weeks throughout the year.
So, I do hope you will all keep coming back for the challenges - this makes it more worthwhile I think and some lovely folks have offered prizes/blog candy for 2011.
I have now chosen my Design Team and look forward to working with some very talented folks. I have had some fantastic support over the years I have been doing this challenge blog so hope that will continue throughout 2011.

Challenge 131 - 'Make it a Vintage Delight'

Well hello again - not as many entries this last week but never mind - everyone has so much to do this time of year.
You can see some of the creations as always on my favourites blog - thanks for all of them they are all winners.
This week I would like you to 'Make it a Vintage Delight'. It does not have to be a Christmas card - if you are heartily sick of them make something else - as long as Vintage that will be fine.
As usual you may create whatever you wish be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.

Don't forget that in January I will be giving away lots of Blog Candy as I have many new sponsors - I hope you will enjoy them and join in the challenges with my super new Design Team
I went with a Vintage Christmas card - not many left to make now thank goodness

Challenge 130 Christmas Food /or Drink

Wow, what an awful lot of entries I had last week - thank you all so much - I think we broke the record for entries.  I would have liked to put them all on the sampler but had to choose just a few so you can see them over at my favourites blog here.
Only 16 days left before the big day but hopefully you will all find the time to make another card or project for this week's challenge which is Christmas Food and/or Drink.  I am sure most folks leave something out for Santa and Rudolph but not sure they would like my marshmallows lol.

As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.

Don't forget that in January I will be giving away lots of Blog Candy as I have many new sponsors - I hope you will enjoy them and join in the challenges with my super new Design Team
Here is my card made using this fabulous little stamp I picked up in the States on one of my trips.

Challenge 129 Christmas Animals

Well 22 days left to Christmas day.... can you believe it.... the year is nearly gone.
I am well and truly snowed in - we have had feet of the stuff this last week and there is no sign of it going anywhere soon.
Many thanks for the lovely Thanksgiving cards last week - some can be seen on the sampler over on my favourites blog.
This week I would like to see some Christmas Animals on your creations - I have chosen some Beatrix Potter animals always a firm favourite I think.

As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look.
