Challenge #117 Midway: ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS

Welcome back crafters! It is the middle of the month and that means there are still two weeks left in our current Link Up. Since the team is taking December off, there are no DT samples in this post.

For today, I am just popping in to remind you of the details of our current challenge. Here is what you need to know...

Challenge #117

  ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS

The Sleigh Belles and Merry Maidens have been working hard all year to get their Christmas cards created. As such, I gave the team the opportunity to take a much deserved break from having to post this month.

 

Our theme, as always, is ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS (or in celebration of other December holidays). We're not having an optional twist this month and strictly keeping it Anything Goes as long as it is still Christmas themed.

Link up two cards and earn a free paper each month or enter any card for a chance to win your choice of TWO Christmas or Winter themed mini kits of digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. 

Here is a preview of December's paper for those adding two cards to this month's link up:

 

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.

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

I'll hopefully be publishing the winner announcement from Challenge #116 sometime in the next two weeks; though, don't hold your breath. My hope was to have it done by now and with the holidays creeping up, plus the fact that my health is acting up, I'm not sure how likely it is that I'll get it accomplished before the end of the year.

 

We will be back in the new year with new challenges! PLEASE NOTE THAT our first link up for the year isn't scheduled until JANUARY 8TH. This will give the team and myself an extra week to enjoy the holidays. 

 

We fondly hope that you and your families have a blessed holiday!!! We will see you all again in 2025!

 

We look forward to seeing you participate!

Challenge #117: ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS

Hello Crafters! Can you believe it?! In less than 24 days, it will be Christmas! Once again, another year has come and almost gone at an insane rate! Unfortunately, the older we get the more we perceive time flying by so quickly! I hope that 2024 was a year that you will be able to fondly look back on. It was another year filled with ups and downs but hopefully more positive than negative for you and your family. Here is hoping that our world and the inhabitants of it will continue to improve and thrive in 2025!

As it is the first day of December, it is time for our final link up of 2024 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, it is time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...

So what are you waiting for? It is time to link up your Christmas and other holiday cards for December! 

 

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.

Please join us again on December 15th, for our midway post when the Merry Maidens will be here to share their awesome cards. If everything goes according to plan, our winner announcement for Challenge #116 will be posted before month's end as long as I can pull it off. Other special posts may be published throughout the month. Be sure to follow us through Bloglovin' so you don't miss a thing!

We look forward to seeing you participate!
