Oh Christmas Tree

Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are having a nice week so far.

Thank you so much to everybody who joined in last week -   what a great response and your Halloween Hues cards and projects were amazing :)

So who was our winner then ?

Woohooo Karen Foy this week it’s you chick :)

Well done to you and if you e-mail me, I’ll pass your details on to Mary & Andrea  and hugest of thanks to The Ribbon Girl for sponsoring us xxx

And check out what Karen did peeps …..

 

 

... this is fabulous and it folds down flat for posting as well - genius!!!
There are some more pics on Karen's blog plus a link to the tutorial if you want to have a go at making one  :).

So onto this week and our theme is

Oh Christmas Tree

so please either make a tree or include one in your card or project :)

Now this week we have a new sponsor for you, but it's actually a blast from the past and I mean the PAST because she is one of the original Papertake Weekly girls when Steph started this challenge all those years ago (6 to be precise and dozy here missed our birthday a few weeks ago - I'm so sorry!!)

So it's a massive welcome back to Caz, woohoo.
She, along with her husband David, has started up a new digi company and they are called

Digital Stamps

 

And this week, our lucky winner will get all of the Christmas stamps in tif and png including the robin in our free downloads  (which is usually only given  as tif) plus the digi paper with robins on (A4 size) as well.

Thank you for a fab prize chick xx

And Caz is back as a special guest designer for us as well, so without further ado, lets see what our fabulous team have done - sorry but we are a bit thin on the ground again this week :(

So that’s what we did and now it’s over to you, and if you get a sec, don’t forget to check out our individual blogs and see what else we have been up to.

As always, could we ask a huge favour peeps please.

Could you help to make our job at leaving comments easier by turning off comment verification and enabling comment moderation instead please pretty please xxxx. It’s ever so easy to do – see our sidebar – and you won’t get spam comments as you can easily reject the comments that you don't want to appear.

Can we remind you nicely that’s it’s fine to combine challenges but please, no back linking. We hope you understand that it’s only fair to those who make a new card xxx

And could we ask that you restrict your number of entries please to no more than 5

Thanks ever so muchly – we really do appreciate it xxx

And  just to let you know that sometimes it is not possible for the Design Team to leave a comments on every entry, with these Blogger issues that some of us are having at the mo – grrrrrr what a nightmare. But please be assured that we do stop by and we are doing our best and every single eligible entry goes into the draw for our prizes even if we don’t manage to leave you a comment.

Thanks for bearing with us and huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Before we get to the cards, we have some sad news. After more years than I care to remember, our Jill has decided to step down from the DT. She has a new job and time is in even shorter supply now. I am so saddened to see her go because she has been with us for such a long time and has rarely missed a week. From the bottom of my heart chick, thank you for sharing your gorgeous work with us for all these years and for everything you have done to make this challenge what it is xxx
