Challenge #56 Winner Announcement

Hello to all our Christmas crafting friends!  Happy Friday the 13th! Hopefully you all have an uneventful day. I used to dread this day when it came up as it seemed every year something unpleasant would happen. Of course it just might have been a self-fulfilling prophecy too! ;)  I'm crossing my fingers that the rest of day will go as smoothly as the first part has.

I'm popping in to announce the winners and our top three Stocking Stuffers from Challenge #56. Sorry we're posting a bit later than usual. One of our team members who is picking her favourite Stocking Stuffer this month was in the path of Hurricane Dorian and she had more important things on her mind to deal with.

We had 49 entries in our August challenge and it is time to get on with the finding out who our winners are.

Are you one of those lucky peeps?! Let's find out!

#46. ANN-MARIE S.

Ann-Marie, you are the winner of a $10.00 gift voucher to the Oddball Art store, our guest sponsor for August (chosen by random.org based on all eligible entries).

Ann-Marie, 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 #56 WINNER" to make arrangements to receive your prize. Please note that it may take me a while 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 #56, Margaret, Marji and Lisa (on behalf of Pat who is in Germany right now), are presenting their favourite cards. So, without further ado, here are the Stocking Stuffers for August:

Everyone who links up two cards each month is eligible to receive a free digital paper. Papers from last month have now been sent out. If you were expecting one but haven't received it yet, please leave me a comment and I'll look into it for you.

The individuals who linked up a minimum of two cards each during the month of AUGUST qualifying them to receive the digital paper from that month, will receive the Snowy Bokeh Tree Bg in Blue paper which received the majority of the votes. Interestingly, there were 40 votes this month. The number of people voting is usually much lower so it was nice to see so many more people expressing their opinion. I have included the watermark of the paper, below...

To all of you who linked up during August, 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 your stash for 2019!!! Papers will be sent to the email address that qualifying participants used when they added their cards to the Link Up, as soon as I can manage!

As always, we are going to have a random draw from all the entries and give out a 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...
