It's Time To Trim the Tree for Challenge #69.

Hi everyone, I hope that your New Year is going well and that you've managed to squeeze in some time in your craft rooms.

For the final challenge of 2022 we played the by now traditional If It's Christmassy, Link It Up! and an amazing 170 of you joined the fun. Thank you so much to everyone who linked to this challenge. I'm hoping to comment on all the posts, but if I don't make it please forgive me.

Yet again, the cards for this challenge were so inspirational.

The Top Picks for this challenge are:

#2 - Stephanie

The colours and CAS design that Stephanie has chosen make this a very special card.

#73 - Valerie

The positioning of the partial circle feature takes this card to the next level.

#98 - Fabiola

Just look at that colour combo and such a harmonious design.

                                                         

#102 - Suze

This one tickled my funny bone and no mistake!

Our Winner and Tree Topper for this week is:

#143 - Janet

Isn't this beautiful? The embossing background is the perfect foil for the gorgeous, larger image.

Congratulations to you all, I hope you enjoy flaunting your blog badges for all the world to see!

Once again, thank to everyone who played along. There were plenty of regular players, plus some new friends in the gallery and I look forward to all of you joining the fun here at Christmas Kickstart during 2023. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Rudolph picked a lovely prize for his final Random Raffle of the year and our lucky winner is...

Our first challenge of 2023 is already underway and I know you'll love the card created by our January elf, Beverly, so please come and join the fun! 

Challenge #69 - Reminder

 

It's time for our reminder post here at Christmas Kickstart! Anyone still making Christmas cards, or are they all safely in the mail or on display on a loved one's mantlepiece?

Our theme for this month is a nice easy one as we play...

For my final; card of 2022 I dug out a favourite, fun stamp set and got colouring.

I made the sentiment on my PC; surely only a cold heart could turn away these three little chaps!

Now don't forget that Rudolph has a rather fab Random Raffle Prize on offer for this challenge.

 

All participants who follow the challenge guidelines will go into Rudolph's draw to win this cute prize, so 'link 'em up and let's see those December makes!
