Winners of Week 719 - Mega Christmas challenge 2023!

Hello again crafters, we’re back to announce all of our lucky winners for the month long Mega Christmas challenge ‘add a sentiment’.  It was wonderful to see so many entries and you certainly kept the DT busy!  We all had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations and we hope you will continue to play along with our challenges in 2024.

Firstly we would like to thank all our generous sponsors, without whom our challenges would not be the same!  We are grateful that so many of them have once again continued to sponsor us this year along with some lovely new sponsors too. 

As we explained at the start of the Mega Christmas challenge we aren’t choosing our usual top 5 Passionista for this one challenge only so listed below are all winners of prizes!  We used random.org to choose our winners and we went in order of the prizes listed in the challenge post.

Ok here we go, good luck everyone, here are the lucky winners for the Mega Christmas challenge 2023:

Week 719 - Mega Christmas challenge - add a sentiment

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. The DT really enjoyed visiting your blogs and seeing all your fabulous creations for our “baby it's cold outside” challenge.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter will be and also to see who Sue has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 2nd January 2024!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!

Our theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “add a sentiment”.  We don't mind what you create for this challenge, as long as you include a sentiment and colour with your markers!  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation.  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 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your markers such as Promarkers, Copics, Spectrum Noir, Karin, Zig Clean Color etc

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!

Dies to Die For are offering 1 lucky winner a £20.00 gift voucher

We have asked both design teams to share some inspiration with you but as it such a long challenge we will be posting the inspiration from Team 2 today and then in two week’s time we will be posting inspiration from Team 1.

We cannot wait to see your creations and look forward to visiting your blogs. We’ll be back on 19th December to share Team 1’s gorgeous selection of cards, so don’t forget to stop by for more wonderful inspiration.

Week 691–Special anniversary challenge–anything goes

*** WARNING – LONG POST ***

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit (or two) and make yourself comfortable!

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you had a good week last week and managed to fit some crafting into your busy schedules.  It was lovely to see so many of your gorgeous entries for last weeks ‘add a sentiment’ challenge; as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter will be and to see who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto this week's challenge and we have a very special one for you this week as it's our 14th Anniversary. Can you believe it's been 14 years since Gina and myself started our little blog?  It only seems like yesterday when we nervously made our first post!  Time flies when you’re having fun.  As it's a special challenge we have a really easy theme for you of "anything goes".  As the title suggests you can make anything you like this week as long you colour with markers.  We are hoping to see lots of entries but please note that as we have extra prizes up for grabs this week we are only accepting a maximum of 3 entries per person for this one challenge only.  Remember the only rule is use your markers and have fun!

As always we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs and our sponsors have been very generous as usual.  Here we go....
