NOVEMBER CHALLENGE DETAILS AND YOUR CHANCE TO OBTAIN A 25% DISCOUNT ON CI PRODUCTS ..

Hi All

Time for our November Challenge to begin, and also your chance to submit an entry and as a reward we will give you a huge 25% discount on our website just for entering - surely an offer to be jumped at!!

Lovely Brenda Brown has chosen November's Challenge topic of 'FESTIVE SPARKLE' - and of course its a very appropriate title seeing that we are rapidly approaching the festive period.  As we all have some sort of Christmas crafting on the menu over the next 7 weeks or so this is a good chance to share some of your festive creations with us and other bloggers out there.

PLEASE NOTE: TO PARTICIPATE YOU MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST ONE CRAFTY INDIVIDUALS PRODUCT IN YOUR ENTRY.

Here are the usual guidelines:


CHALLENGE GUIDELINES


To enter this month’s Crafty Individuals Challenge please put together your project, following the subject material outlined above (your project should include at least one Crafty Individuals product please), then:

Post your challenge project on your blog, before the end of the month, and include a link back to this blog,

Leave a link in the URL box at the bottom of this post to take us directly to your challenge project, etc. – which will then appear here on this blog as a thumbnail image – so we can all see your wonderful work.

At the end of the month the CI team and/or guests will set about choosing five lucky participants, each of whom will win a CI rubber stamp of their choice.  And don't forget you can also claim a lovely 25% voucher code to use on anything on the CI website until the end of the month.

Go for it and enjoy the challenge x

....

I have a mountain of inspirational projects to wet your appetite, and will start off with just a couple of the team ideas here tonight.  The rest will continue to follow over the next couple of weeks.

I'll start with Brenda's own very beautiful idea - such an imaginative and beautiful use of a Tando Round Printer Tray, along with our stamps and papers +, I'm sure you will agree!





Thanks Brenda.

And my other bit of sparkle (pity the sparklings don't show very well in photos) tonight is from
adorable GIO - another brilliant idea, and sooo original (it would never have occurred to me) - Gio loves altering stuff - can you tell?




A lot of our images and stamps included here - particularly our Merry Christmas image book used so very effectively.

I'll just squeeze one more project in before bed - a gorgeous sparkly glass festive ornament by Lynne - superb!



Lynne has used one of our images to make this very pretty thing!

Lots more to come, and we look forward to seeing your creations soon in our last Challenge of 2012 - lets make it the best yet!!!!

When you have linked in your entry please email us to obtain your 25% discount code.

Gorgeous creations from the DT all through the month. I am just finishing off my entry and just popped on to make sure I have until tomorrow evening to submit when I have noticed I can't find any linky, has the challenge finished? Hugs Kerry x

Kezzy said...

Hi Jean, my entry for the challenge is http://www.kezzyscraftyjourney.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/little-tiny-christmas-tree.html For some reason I can't see the linky, others can but I can't see it on any challenge blog. My other half reckons I have turned something on or off. If I can't do it this way then no worries. Kerry xxx

Kezzy said...

Hi Jean, at last I can now see the linky, I guess you couldn't enter it on time as mines not there. Oh well maybe the next challenge :-) Hugs Kerry xxx
