- Memory Box Let it Snow Circle Frame die cut
- Memory Box Dancing Snowflake Frame die cut
- Memory Box snowflake die cuts (from Newbury Ornament Vignette)
- (4) coordinating sets (4 pieces each) of punched snowflake shapes
- 1 yard of seam binding (great for coloring with Copics or spray inks)
- Elizabeth Crafts stickers
- Bazzill chipboard snowflake
- Starfoam Transparent silver glitter stickers (love using these instead of gems for a flat card)
- Memory Box snowflake gem stickers
- Packet of confetti/sequins
- 15 buttons
I randomly drew the winner from a pool of the cardmakers whose cards arrived at their destination by the last day of the month, and the winner is...
Chris in Texas!
Congratulations, Chris! Please send me an email by December 15 so I can hook you up with your prize!
Our Holiday Break & Our Next Challenge
Because December is already crazy-busy with holiday cards, we don't have an exchange in that month. However, the January Card Chain Challenge sign-up begins on Monday, December 7, 2015 (the post link will activate at that time) and closes on Thursday, January 7, 2016, at 11:55 p.m. with cards to be received by January 31st. All cards exchanged in that challenge will be revealed here on February 1, 2016.
If your card arrives at its destination by the last day of January, you'll be eligible to win that month's prize (selected by random draw).
Hope to see you here!
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
Deborah
