Challenge #5 Christmas

Hello and welcome back to a new and fun challenge here with LLC!
This is the second blog post today. If you're looking for the "Think Pink" Candy Winner's Post, you can find it here.

We had a great turnout for the October Challenge; 80 entries. There was a fantastic mix of Autumn colours projects and Halloween cards, and some players did a fab job of combining the two. 
Thank you everyone who linked up; you continue to amaze us with your beautiful work.
We'll be back with the DT's Top3 Picks later this week.

...and now who's the lucky winner of this fab prize?

 I had to do a redraw as the first winner drawn had unfortunately overseen the LLC challenge rules. Please note: only one entry per person and challenge please, and please do not combine the LLC challenge with more than 9 other challenges (10 in total).

The new winner drawn is...No. #60 which is:

...and this is Judy's sweet Autumn card:

Congratulations Judy; please contact me, Sandy within a week from today to claim your prize.

You decide if you want to make a card, a gift wrap, if you want to alter something or maybe create a scrapbook LO with images from last year's Christmas....

There were some fantastic entries for the LLC September Challenge (lovely lace and/or terrific trim), however the DT unanimously had one favourite and once you've checked out this amazingly beautiful gift set you'll understand why... We're thrilled to have this talented lady joining us this month; Katie from Canada.
