Challenge 292:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

This week there are four opportunities to win a prize as usual, winners will be chosen randomly. I do hope we will get a lot of entries this week to encourage these wonderful sponsors

The first sponsor is Crafter's Companion:

Crafter's Companion is a well known haven of crafting goodies of all descriptions. They are giving a £10 voucher to the randomly chosen winner.

The second sponsor is Uniko:

'My name is Beverley Brown and I am the owner and designer of Uniko Ltd, a small family run business. Tthough it is mainly myself that designs, blogs and does all the day to day running of things, whilst being a full time mum to 17 month old twin boys! Uniko Ltd specialises in clear stamps and paper crafting products.

Being an avid paper crafter and stamp addict for many years, plus completing a BA (Hons) in Textiles & Surface Design I decided back in February 2012 to combine my passions and launch my own range of stamps, designer dies & digital paper collections.'

The randomly chosen winner will receive a clear stamp set of choice from the Uniko website.

The third sponsor is Tando Creative:

'We supply our own unique range of chipboard designs that are both innovative and inspiring. We have now added masks to our range of products cut from sturdy and durable 350 micron polyfilm.

We offer a complete bespoke design and cut package for chipboard or we can cut products to your digital designs.'

Tando Creative will be sending the randomly chosen winner a prize package.

The fourth prize is a pack of flowers donated by Mulberry Crafts who, unfortunately, are not trading any more - I will post them to the randomly chosen winner.

Please visit the websites of these generous sponsors and support them - you will be spoiled for choice!

Please look down the sidebar on the right to see all of the sponsors giving out prizes during this year - quite a few new ones as well as others who have been giving generously in the past. I am so thankful for everyone coming on board to support me. When buying your crafting goodies, please click on the links to see what's on offer in their online stores and support them as much as you can with your orders.

This is my card, using the lovely coloured image from Bugaboo Stamps called 'Christmas bird 001'. For more info about the card please look here on My Crafty Outlook.

Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques - and this week it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas.
