and leave her a message, I have put the letter here for you! R that Annie would of had for you on here blog....

Ok so this is the order of blogs we are hopping in case you get lost along the way!

ABC Christmas Challenge
The Theme for my Z for Zero time left!

So many of you have said you would liked to have joined right at the beginning so I thought it would be nice to have a chance to replay a favourite challenge or a challenge you missed
and wished you hadn't.


So to explain make your card/project using a theme from a previous challenge
IE: A for Angels - include a charm or some beads...that was the extra.
 All the challenges have links on the right hand sidebar

so just click and you will be whisked straight there
Once you have chosen a challenge/s to re play make your card/project and then head back here and link it! remember only post your card/project once you have completed the blog hop and have collected your letters to make the festive phrase.


Don't forget to tell us which challenge/s you are replaying

in your post on your blog and also to direct link to it so we can find it straight away please! and if you wouldn't mind turning off word verification we would be really grateful too! its really hard going when we are commenting on so many wonderful entries :0)
 HAVE FUN!! Christmas its only 10 days away!
Yipppppeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!



:::::::::::



Now for some inspiration!
but I have been a bit Naughty!

and have got my digi scissors out and snipped the Dt's projects so your only getting a sneak peek here! you will have to stop by the DT blogs to see their cards/projects......But I have been Nice and listed all the challenge they have chosen to replay with the links!

NB:
This challenge and blog hop will run from now 15th December to 10pm on the 1st of January, So everyone has extra time to create and win! We will draw the prizes and post them on the First Challenge of 2011 on the 5th January. But remember you have to have done the blog hop, entered a project to the challenge rules to be in with a chance of winning any prizes :0)

  7. I'm a bit confused as to the secret words. It is either Christmas Greeting or Christmas Greetings. (not sure if the S on this site was an error or the last letter in the words. Oh well, it was a fabulous hop, filled with gorgeous projects -- enjoyed checking out each and every one!
