Challenge 241 - 9th of January - Christmas

Good morning!

So, now it is time for our next challenge. Thank you all who entered en masse for our first challenge this week, Anything Goes.

As a special extra, because I feel you all are worth it and feel you all deserve a little extra prize, here is a sentiment as a freebie to you all. Hope you can use it at some stage.

This week our challenge is:

Christmas

So, anything that fits in with this subject, qualifies for entering into this challenge. Don't forget, there is a maximum of 5 entries per person and it needs to be new work (so created and posted after this challenge has started). We are continuing with our monthly Christmas challenges to keep on track with getting our Christmas cards done on time again this year. Please also switch word verification off as it does make it a lot more difficult and time intensive for us to comment on your lovely projects.

Here are the fabulous sponsors for this challenge:

Sponsor 1: RickSt Dennis MFA

The prize is 2-3 images from his shop.

Sponsor 2: Lacy Sunshine Stamps

Prize is 3 images of choice from her shop.

Sponsor 3: Imagine That! Digital Stamps

The prize is 3 sets of choice from her site.

Sponsor 4: Flonzcraft

They make and sell rubber and clear stamps at their online store, ebay and etsy.

Prize is a $20 voucher for their store.

A Worthy Cause

Hi to everyone who takes the time to read this!

I would just like to say that if you make a card for one of our challenges and you're not planning on sending it to anyone, could you please spare a thought for the many sick children in hospitals all over the U.K.

Perhaps you could take a look at the banner link below which will take you to Post Pals, an organization that does its best to ensure these sick children get a cheering card or gift occasionally. They would LOVE to receive one of your cards. You may even receive a reply back, if the child is well enough.

These seriously ill children have their days brightened immeasurably by receiving post from people they don't even know.

What a wonderful achievement for the cost of a stamp!
