9. A special draw will be held at the end of the year, in December,  for all those who submitted a card or project every month that year, January to November.

I must warn you that there may be some delay getting the prizes mailed out. Al and I are not venturing out except to pick up our groceries.  We are still sheltering at home as we both are high risk.  Whe my daughter has time, she will mail them for me, but it has to fit into her schedule, and they do not go out much either. They both have had to work throughout the pandemic, so still limit any other ventures to enclosed spaces. All their time off is spent camping with the same few friends that practise sociall distancing as well.  They do not go inot friends homes nor have anyone in theirs...

So, when she has something to mail or pickup herself, she will post the prizes...so bear with me and it will eventually get there. Currently, we are up to date on our mailing, except one, where the winner has asked me to hold onto it till Christmas time!

The design team has been busy. First up is Sam at Whispers Cards.

Sam has made this adorable Penny Black card. Is this image not the cutest thing ever! The fur on the hat looks so real!!!

I am loving all the pretty design paper here and the non traditional colours! The pink and grey is so beautiful together. 

Sam has made us a second card. I think the sentiment is wonderful here. Great to showcase it and let it take center stage.  All those presents on the design paper make me yearn for Christmas crafty presents!

I hope you will pop on over to Sam's blog and leave her some love...

Next up is Sue at Sue's Crafty Corner blog. 
Sue has created this lovely inky sky as a backdrop for this wonderful bird image. I love the soft inky colours and the pretty colours of the bird image.

Sue was very hardworking and managed to make eight of these beautiful cards! I hope you will pop over to her blog and leave her some love,,,

My card is another upcycled one.  Because the original image was so large, I made a 6x6 inch card base and added the trimmed down card front straight onto a piece of shimmery pale blue card stock by DCWV.  I hand cut two hills from white glitter card, hoping that they would look like snowbanks.
Added a glittery aqua foam snowflake that is eons old. I bought a few packages of these at my local dollar store many years ago and still have a few tucked away!  I added a small bow from some fine ivory cord, just to contrast with the more dressy look of this card...

The prize this month is this Studio Light, Winter Trails Frame Stamp.
