Challenge #61 Midway: Opt. Twist…An Old Fashioned Christmas

Welcome back folks! It is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for the midway of our current challenge. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but apologies for not having had the chance to post the winner announcement from Challenge #60 yet. I'm hoping to be able to get to it within this next week. Given that I can't seem to get the announcement posted during the 8th to the 11th time period that I'd like, I may just have to permanently switch it to the 23rd. Or maybe a miracle will happen and I'll actually find some additional time at the start of the month!

As we are halfway through the month of January, it is time to see what the Merry Maidens have been up to with their lovely images from Lunagirl, our guest sponsor this month!

Clicking on the DT names will take you to the individual blogs where you can check out the details for all these wonderful cards. Christine from the Sleigh Belles team is joining us during the midway this month. Pat also had some time to join us this month! Marji has been busy having shared one card at the start and now has two more for you to see today. If you missed the introduction of our newest team member early today, Mandy is the newest member of our team! So, we have lots of great midway inspiration for you!

If you are interested in purchasing the sponsor's digital collage sheet featured in a particular card, you can click on the link indicated below the card to head to the page in the Lunagirl store where it can be found.

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 January. 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.

Challenge #61

 Optional Twist: 

An Old Fashioned Christmas

If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure to create a card that features VINTAGE items whether in your choice of image, papers, embellishments or all three.

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 gift voucher to the Lunagirl store. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, An Old Fashioned Christmas.

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.

If you would like a say in determining which digital paper will be offered to those who link up a minimum of two cards this month, be sure to vote in our poll. Click HERE to head there now.

Don't Forget, if everything goes according to plan...

I am hoping to post the winner announcement from Challenge #60 within the next week. Then, be sure to join us on February 1st for our new challenge!
