*If you post in a gallery, Photo Bucket, Instagram, Facebook or other similar albums we cannot guarantee we will be able to comment.

Please remember to give us the EXACT links to see them.

All entries must be new projects, no back linking please.

You may enter up to 5 times.

You may combine your entry with other challenges.

You MUST include a link back to this blog in your entry post.

Have fun!
This challenge runs until DECEMBER 31st.

PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS NOT AN ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.There is ALWAYS a specific theme unless otherwise noted that it IS an anything goes challenge. We do have these a couple times a year so please make sure you follow the challenge theme. 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 Top PICKS if you list it as "anything goes" and it isn't. Thanks for understanding.

Also, there will be no more prize offering as it is getting WAYYYY too expensive to send things in the mail. What I am planning on doing from now until the end of the year, I will collect everyone's names who participates in a challenge and make a draw around Christmas time and send that person a gift certificate to their favorite craft store. This will alleviate the shipping cost. I will make another draw at the end of July of next year again with names from January to July. Then from August to December I will collect names and make another draw.
