Challenge 135 - 'Winter Sketch'

Wow - what can I say? there was a record number of entries for the first challenge this year with my new DT.  We would all like to thank you for your lovely creations and comments this week, only wish I could post all to the sampler over on my favourites blog but alas not enough space.

Now for a drum roll please........
....
....

The winner of the voucher from Joanna Sheen is......

Number 46 - yes that's you Kate well done. 


Please email me with your full name and address info and your voucher will be sent to you direct from Joanna Sheen.

Because so many of you entered the same card more than once I could not use Mr Linky so my dear husband picked the winning number..... thanks Geoff.
Please do not submit more than two entries per challenge thanks a lot.
I know Mr Linky was playing up last week so let us hope he works ok this week.


This week your challenge is sponsored by Chi Chi Memories with a prize of digi images of your choice.  Audrey has provided the sketch below and we would like you to incorporate 'Winter' in your creation please.
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.
If you think Mr Linky has not worked please do not repost as every time last week the entry was there for me to see the first time. Just post a comment and I will check to see if it is there or not. If not I will get back to you.

This challenge will end at midnight 19th January UK Time.


HERE IS YOUR SKETCH

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.

New Design Team

Just added a new page showing my lovely new Design Team Gems.
You will be able to see their wonderful creations in the New Year.
