Ch. #60 Midway: Opt. Twist…Layer It Up
Hey folks. It is the middle of the month and that means there are still
two weeks left in our current Link Up. Since the team had the option of taking December off, there will be no DT samples in this post.
I thought that I would just pop in to remind you of the details of our current challenge sponsored by Scribbles Designs.
Since the holidays are upon us, I'm offering up a couple extra prizes this month.
First off, if you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure to use a minimum of THREE layers on your card.
Keep in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month or for a chance to win a $10.00 worth of digital stamps to the Scribbles Designs store. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Marble Textures 1 (you can find a preview for this set by clicking HERE).
I'm also in the midst of designing that same set of marble textures only with some gold running through the veins. The team doesn't know it yet but I'm doing it to give them an end of year bonus gift for being such an incredible group of ladies to work with! I will also give away one copy of this set called Marble Textures with Gold 1, to one lucky person, chosen randomly from all entries.
Finally, as a thank you to all of our players, both new and long standing, I'm also drawing one random name from all the entries to win that person's choice of ONE mini kit selected from all the kits that were offered up this year to my team members. These are the same 12 kits that the individual paper given out each month during 2019 were selected from. If you would like to take a look at all the past kits designed this year, simply click on the word 'Poll' located in the Labels section at the bottom of the left sidebar. Then, simply scroll through all the polls for 2019.
So in summary, that is a total of FIVE different prizes for December's link up:
So if you haven't entered already, what are you waiting for? It is time to link up your Christmas and other holiday cards for December. Below you will find a refresher of the details for this challenge.
Please remember that this is a CARDS ONLY link up. While we've had some lovely tag entries, ornaments and other creative projects in the past, we've sadly had to disqualify them.
If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I started it under the 'Introductions' tab. As this is a different kind of link up where we have both an Anything Goes Christmas or other December Holiday option AND an optional twist to follow, be sure to read all the details and rules you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). I have provided a summary of the most important rules in the right sidebar.

Challenge #59 Winner Announcement
Hello to all our Christmas crafting friends! I'm popping in to announce the winners and our top three Stocking Stuffers from Challenge #59.
I seem to be developing a bad habit of being a few days later than expected getting the winner
announcements out these past few months. Sorry about that.
We hit the big time last month with 101 entries in our November challenge. Yippee!!! That is almost double the entries from the month before which makes me extremely happy! Right now, 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!
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 #59, Granmargaret, Helen, and Donna (filling in for Marji), are presenting their favourite cards. So, without further ado, here are the Stocking Stuffers for November:
Congrats to our top three Stocking Stuffers! Hazel, Marie and Ellie, please grab a copy of the badge below for your blog.
To all of you who linked up during November, 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 complete your stash for 2019 and then again once you start next year's stockpile!!! 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...
The winner of the
Misc. Textures: Red & Green Mini Kit

Challenge #60: Opt. Twist…Layer It Up
Hello Crafters! Can you believe it?!
In less than 24 days, it will be Christmas. Once again, another year has come and almost gone in absurd speed!
Before I continue, I wanted to share some news regarding our team. Two of our members, Julie and Pat, have sadly had to go on an extended leave of absence to deal with issues going on in each of their personal lives. Pat will try to join us when she is able to. It is our hope that both these incredible ladies will be back with with the team as soon as they possibly can be! In the meantime, they will be sorely missed. Additionally, Helen G., who has been with us since January of 2017, has decided to step down from the team. It has been wonderful having Helen with us for the last two years. She is an incredibly talented and sweet lady and she too will definitely be missed. I hope that you will join me in wishing Julie and Pat all the best as they deal with the issues going on in their lives, and to also wish Helen G. the absolute best as she goes on to new adventures in her life!
As it is the first day of December, it is time for our final link up of 2019 to get under way! Given how little time is left until the BIG DAY itself is here, it is imperative to get all those last minute Christmas and other December Holiday cards completed before we run out of time! To provide you with some extra incentive to get your cards completed, we have some lovely prizes available! So, why not join us for your chance to win?!
If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I created it under the 'Introductions' tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'Basic Rules Summary'.
Right now, time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
The Sleigh Belles and Merry Maidens have been working hard all year to get their Christmas cards created and as such, I gave the team the opportunity to take a much deserved break from having to post this month. A few of our team members decided that they still wanted to create; so, for the start of the challenge there will a handful of DT makes for you to check out. At the midway I'll simply post a reminder about the link up and the digi paper poll.
Since the holidays are upon us, I'm offering up a couple extra prizes this month.
