January Challenge

Happy New Year and welcome to our January Challenge.

We've had a little glitch with the December Challenge post and part of the content was inadvertently deleted. Thankfully all the challenge entries are still there so I will return in a few days to announce the winners.

This month we say farewell to three of our DT members. Judy, Kate and Kiki. A big thank you ladies for all the lovely work you have done during your time on the DT.

We also welcome four new DT members. Please welcome:

Bridget
Claudia
Sarah
Sue

Do head over to their blogs and check out their lovely work.

Ok, on to this month's challenge. The theme this time is pretty simple-anything goes so long as it's a Christmas card.

This month the prize is from Platypus Creek Stamps and is two cling mount Christmas stamps.

Here are some samples from the Design Team:

PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS NOT AN ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.There is ALWAYS a specific theme unless otherwise noted that is IS an anything goes challenge. We do have these a couple times a year but please make sure you follow the challenge theme. We are finding that a lot of the entries lately are listing the challenge as "anything goes" when it is NOT!! The entries that list this an an "anything goes" entry and it's not may risk having their entry deleted. You will definitely not qualify for the Top Picks if you list it as "anything goes" and it isn't.

~~PLEASE ALSO NOTE-When there is an ANYTHING GOES challenge, we cannot guarantee ALL entries will get a comment as there are just wayyyyyy toooo many entries and sometimes it's just too hard to comment on all. But we try!!~~
