Week 129–Mega Christmas challenge

Good morning dear crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. The DT really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing you fabulous creations using Tracy's sketch. Don't forget to check back later to find out who Tracy has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are our lucky winner of the prize from Sugar Nellie Stamps.

This week we are launching our very special Mega Christmas challenge which will last until January 3rd 2012. I’m sure you’ll agree that the design team deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards. However to make up for the lack of challenges we again have some magnificent prizes up for grabs.

Our theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is a nice easy one “CELEBRATIONS”, so basically we want to see your creations for any type of celebrations, including birthdays. However as time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 per person for this month long challenge. Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers or aqua markers.

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!
