Challenge #49 AND #50 Winner Announcements

Hello folks! I'm popping in today to announce the winners for January and February. All individual papers up until the end of 2018 have now been sent out and with today's announcement we'll almost be caught up! After today, we just have March and April to go in order to be completely caught up. Slowly but surely we are getting there. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated!

Before we start, I just wanted to remind you of the changes that we have made for 2019 that affect our prizes. First and most importantly, ALL entries linked up will now qualify for a chance to win the sponsored prize each month. Secondly, anyone following the optional twist will have their name thrown into a draw for a chance to win the monthly featured paper pack. So, basically it is now reverse to what it used to be. By allowing everyone the opportunity to win the sponsored prize, we're hoping that this will help bring more people to our link up.

So let's get on with announcing the winners and our top three Stocking Stuffers from Challenge #49 and also Challenge #50. Are you one of those lucky peeps?! Let's find out!

 For Challenge #49:

***#27. Montownia***

You are the winner of THREE images from the SheepSki Designs store, our guest sponsor for January (chosen by random.org based on all eligible entries).

For Challenge #50:

***#5. Carol S.***

You are the winner of a $12 gift certificate to the Bugaboo Stamps store (chosen by random.org based on all eligible entries).

Please note that it may take me upwards of a couple of weeks 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. For Challenge #49, Susan, Marji  and myself, Lisa, are presenting our favourite cards. So, without further ado, here are the Stocking Stuffers for January:

***#12. Rocky ***

 Before we get to the Digital Paper winners for Challenges #49 and #50, I need to remedy a boo boo from the last winner announcement. I made an error when I chose the winner of the paper set from challenge #47. Instead of grabbing a random link from the November challenge, I accidentally grabbed it from the December challenge. Now obviously, I am not going to renege on that but I also thought that in fairness, I should also choose a winner from the correct challenge. Therefore…

The winner of All Tied Up for Christmas Mini Kit 

from Challenge #47 is

VICTORIA R.

(chosen by random.org)

 
Victoria, 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 #47 PAPER KIT WINNER" to make arrangements to receive your prize.

Now back to the winners for #49 and #50. Everyone who links up two cards each month is eligible to receive a free digital paper. The individuals who linked up a minimum of two cards each during the month of JANUARY, qualifying them to receive the digital paper from that month, will receive the Tutti Fruiti paper which can be seen in the preview shown below…

 

Those people who earned the paper from FEBRUARY will receive the Adults Wearing Blue paper. Here is the preview for it…

To all of you who linked up during January and/or February, 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 as you continue to work on your stash for 2019!!! I will send out these papers to those people who earned them, as soon as I can find the time to do so.

As always, we are also going to have a random draw from all the entries and give out a set of six digital papers to one lucky individual from each of the challenges. Here is the preview for the full set for Challenge #49...
