Hello again friends, I’m back to announce our lucky winner and top 5 passionista for last week’s “let’s celebrate” challenge.  It was fantastic to see so many of your lovely entries, and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  We’ll be announcing Nic’s top 5 passionista in a moment but firstly let’s find out who our lucky winner is!

For last week’s challenge we were sponsored by Time for Tea Designs who offered one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  As always we used random.org and he chose:

Week 326–Mega Christmas Challenge 2015!

*** 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 you fabulous creations for Lorraine B.’s “Christmas tree” challenge.  Don't forget to check back later to find out who Lorraine B. has chosen as her top 5 passionista and also to see if you are our lucky winner of the $12.00 voucher courtesy of A Day For Daisies.

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 5th January 2016!  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 “let’s celebrate”.  You are welcome to make Christmas cards but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation as long as you follow the theme.  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 promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!
