Challenge #16 Winner Announcement

Before I start, I have a favour to ask.  At first glance this month, I didn't think anyone was going to be eligible for the prize as not one participant had added FT after their name when entering.  However, after glancing at the cards chosen for the top three and checking out the thumbnails, I came to realize that at least four people did in fact have a gift of some nature on their card.  I'd hate for anyone to miss out on the chance to win a prize from one of our amazing sponsors in the future; so, please remember to let us know if you have followed the theme.  It is as simple as adding FT after your name when entering.

Now, how about we get on with announcing the winners and our top three Stocking Stuffers from Challenge #16.  Are you one of those lucky peeps?!  Let's find out!

SUSAN

Susan, you are the winner of a $12.00 gift certificate from Sami Stamps, our guest sponsor for April (chosen by Mini Web Tool), based on all eligible participants (i.e., those entrants who followed the optional theme).  

  

Susan, please send an email to the_12_moc_linkup {at} outlook {dot} com (or click HERE to bring the address up in your email program), with the subject, "12MoC Challenge #16 WINNER" to make arrangements to receive your prize.  Please note that it may take me several days to get back to you.  Thank you for your patience.  In the interim, please grab a copy of the winner badge below for your blog.

Next, it is time to get on with showcasing the top three.  With so many wonderful entries to choose from, it is always such a difficult task for the design team.  We did however settle on three awesome creations.  So, without further ado, here are our Stocking Stuffers for Challenge #16:

Congrats to our top three Stocking Stuffers!  Marty, Susan and Monica, please grab a copy of the badge below for your blog.

Everyone who links up two cards each month is eligible to receive a free digital paper.  All those who linked up two cards during the month of March were mailed their paper.  If you thought that you had linked two, but did not receive a free paper, please contact us and let us know and we'll look into it for you.

The five individuals who linked up a minimum of two cards each during the month of APRIL, qualifying them to receive the digital paper from that month, will receive the paper with the red & silver snowflakes which garnered 100% of the votes.   I have included the watermark of it, below...

To all of you who linked up during April, thanks ever so much!  We are so happy to have all of you with us and hope that you'll continue to link up your holiday cards throughout the remainder of 2016!!!

Papers will be sent to the email address that qualifying participants used when they added their cards to the Link Up.  I hope to get them mailed by the 15th.  Your patience is appreciated.

As always, we are going to have a random draw from all the entries and give out the set of six digital papers to one lucky individual.  The papers are all made so why not have an extra prize!  Here is the watermark for the full set..

The winner of the Gifts Galore Mini Kit is
