Week # 50 - 2 week Challenge

Thursday, 17 December 2009
Good morning, it's week 50 and our last challenge before Christmas, so to give everyone a break next week, this challenge will last for 2 weeks.

Thank you all for your wonderful entries last week to Carly's Red, Green & White/Silver, lots of fantastic Christmas cards & a few non-Christmassy ones too, we really appreciate all of the support you've all given us this year.

It's me, Jan, setting the challenge this week and as I'm sure most of you (some of you??) have now finished all your Christmas cards and hopefully a lot of your presents & boxes, this week the theme is:

Anything - but Christmas!

So that should give you plenty of scope and if you're anything like me, you'll find it's actually quite nice to make a non-Christmassy card for a change!

As we're running for two weeks, we've got two prizes to give away, the first is from:

And here's a bit about them from Christine, the owner of All That Scraps -


We offer a little of everything for one stop shopping, including cardstock, pattern paper, many stamp companies and great shipping rates. Home of C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps which is my passion, I love to see my drawings come to life on someones card or project.

Here's the fantatic prize they're offering:


Our second prize is sponsored by:

Scrapbook News & Review

They're offering this week's winner a 3 months subscription to their online scrapbooking magazine!!! How fantastic!


Here's what Anne from SNR says:

Scrapbook News and Review is the hottest publication to hit the scrapping world. Built for paper lovers of every form, we have complete sections for Cards, Stamping, Digital, and more. Every edition comes filled with 3 to 4 times the content of your average scrapping magazine, and all for one low rate. Best of all, our 3 months pass gets you access to everything we have ever published. This is an entire resource library at your fingertips. Love your paper? You will adore SNR'


So onto the DT cards for this week, some wonderful ideas to hopefully inspire you, if you click on the DT's name you can go to their blog and leave some lovely comments!















We look forward to seeing what you come up with and all of us at Charisma would
like to wish you all:

A Fantastic Christmas!

You have until 8pm (GMT) on Wednesday (2 weeks time) to qualify for
entry into the draw for the prizes.

Lots of love

The Charisma gals xx


Please leave your link with Mr Linky rather than in the comments sections - that would be fantastic. Please remember to direct us to your entry post not your whole blog! Links which are not correct shall be deleted *Also please remember we have a 3 creation limit!* this makes it fair to everyone!
