C is for Clean & Simple

It's Helen here as your host this time, but before I get on to our new challenge, I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you that played along last time...your 'Black & White' cards rocked! And it was great to see so many of you using Dustin's fabby freebie too!

Here are Carissa's 'Top 3' picks:

#12 Sharon - love the beautifully coloured image and all of the embossing

#14 Heidi - love the layout and the beautiful papers that remind me of snowflakes

#33 Serendipity - love the gorgeous greyscale image
And now I have the pleasure of announcing the two lucky winners of Dustin's images:

1st prize - 2 of Dustin's images:


#35 - Hazel


2nd prize - 1 of Dustin's images:


#29 - Jackie

Congratulations everyone! Please email us (abcchristmaschallenge@hotmail.co.uk) to claim your blinkies and prizes.

This week's challenge is:

'C is for Clean & Simple'

And, I've created a nice easy sketch for you to follow:



We have not one...but two fabulous sponsors for this challenge too:

Photobucket
Simon Says Stamp - $15 shopping Voucher

and:


Stamp Fairy - 3 digital images of the winner's choice.

How fabulous is that???

Our lovely guest designer this week is Sharon from the Stamp Fairy DT:


And here are the fabulous projects by my lovely DT buddies:

Lols





So now it's over to you...don't forget that in order to qualify for a prize your card must be a new Christmas themed item, following the theme of 'Clean & Simple' using the sketch provided.

We're using a text linky tool this time...we can no longer get the lovely photo linky for free...and as we run this challenge blog just for fun, we can't afford to pay a subscription...but it does mean that we now get a lovely surprise when we come and visit you to leave our comments! :0)

    I just entered another 3 cards...in addition to my first entry. Got plans for at least 6 more. I am loving this sketch. I am getting so many cards out of the way! I dont know about you guys, but I have different levels of Christmas cards...Really good ones that go to family and close friends, Nice ones that go to good friends, and then ones that go to everyone else (those are the mass production type). So in total I have a TON to make...The ones I am making right now with this sketch are the nice ones that go to good friends!
