Challenge 4 - Keeping Warm

Hello! Welcome to Challenge 4 of the Crafty Calendar Challenge. We hope you all had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year today! Here's our first challenge of 2010!

We had our biggest amount of entries yet for the 'Winter Sparkle' challenge - we're guessing that bling and sparkle is pretty popular in blogland! :)


OK, here is the randomly chosen winner of Challenge 3. The winner of the £20.00 gift voucher for Quixotic Paperie is...


Mary from 'My Scrap Happy Life'!

Congratulations Mary! Please email me (Georgia) at: gwelch96@googlemail.com and we can sort out your gift voucher!

For the fourth challenge, the theme is 'Keeping Warm'. January is such a cold, bleak month, so for this challenge, we would like to see warm colours used in your cards and projects, and if you like, images that are associated with keeping warm.
There is an optional extra of 'texture'. To show even more warmth on your creatios, you could add texture to your card/project, such as ribbon, fur, raffia, flowers, feathers, you name it!
But please remember that the optional extra is not compulsory.


This month, I (Georgia) am sponsoring the challenge. I am offering the winner of this challenge two Smirk stamps, some alphabet stickers and two ribbon coils!




Finally, our Guest Designer this month is Marianne, at Marianne's Craftroom!

Marianne, makes a range of such beautiful cards and her blog is a great inspiration for crafters! She has also been Guest Designing at Winter Wonderland Challenge, and Moving Along With The Times, so you can also pop over and view her stunning creations there!





Here are our cards for your inspiration:
















Claire






Liz












Jane




Kim






Laura


You have until 8:00pm on Thursday 4th February 2010 - the winner of Tracy's prize will be announced when Challenge 5 goes live on Friday 5th February 2010.


Thank you for entering, Happy New Year from all of us, and best of luck! :)
