Christmas Starts

Hi everyone, Lou here with a quick post . . . yep, the Fab'n'Funky DT have decided to start their Christmas holidays early as we are all determined to be organised (ish) this year (!!!) and therefore there is no challenge this week.

The randomly chosen winner from last week who wins The Stamping Boutique prize is:

number 80 . . Babette from Creative Memories

As there were so many entries for last weeks challenge, we really couldn't pick a top 3, so we have chickened out and hope you forgive us . . . believe us, it was sooooooooo hard just to narrow it down to 3 winners as there were so many creative projects submitted. However we have tried to narrow it down a little and want to mention the following entries . . .

Please ALL grab our Top 3 blinkie and display your badge with pride!

Roma - wow, what a fabulous gift idea

An - beautiful mixtures of textures and embossing

Joanny - beautiful, vintage inspired cards

Dawn - stunning, romantic monochromatic card

Mary J - bold, bright and fun Christmas card

Candi - brilliant idea for decorating your Christmas tree

Camilla - beautiful card with the same care and detail on the inside too

Deb - stunning LOTV card and box - check out the attention to detail and all the layering

Marion - shabby chic (ish) inspired card

Kim - fabulous idea for giving gift cards

As a consolation to not having a challenge this week

we are offering up some Fab'n'Funky candy 

and all you have to do is leave your name in Mr Linky and we will let Mr Random.Org pick

5 winners 

from all the entries submitted next week. In the candy you will receive:

A Christmas themed candy package to include:

• a selection of christmas eyelets (trees, angels & candy canes)
• seasonal coloured grommets and buttons
• 8 DCWV 6"x6" Christmas papers
• large mulberry flowers
• Christmas themed stamps

edited to add: Mr Blogger won't upload the photo at the moment, 

so will try again later!

Have a great December everyone and don't forget to enter our candy draw.

So, with lots of heart felt wishes from everyone on the Fab'n'Funky DT . . .

Challenges begin again on 4th January 2012.

Challenge #98 - "All white on the night!"

Before we begin, apologies for not announcing our DT winners and the slight hic cups with the post last week but unfortunately Lou had to dash to Ireland for a family emergency and that put a spanner in the works (as it were) as everyone on the DT is part of our decision process.

Now the theme this week is . . .

"it's all white on the night!"

We would like you to make yor project using white as your main focal colour and then using one other accent colour only.
