September Challenge - Anything Goes and Optional: Christmas Decorations

Hello, and welcome back to Christmas at Sweet Stampin'! I apologise for the lateness of the challenge post - I've been unwell.

Sadly we are saying goodbye to one of our lovely team-mates this month. Donna is having to leave us. I'm sure you will all agree that she has been a wonderful part of the team and provided lots of fabulous inspiration. We will all miss her greatly, and I'm sure you will join us in wishing Donna all the best for the future.

As a result of Donna leaving we find ourself short one team member. I would like to extend to you all the opportunity to join our team. If you love to make Christmas cards and want to be part of our lovely team then all you have to do is e-mail us at sweetstampin@gmail.com with the topic "CASS DT Call" followed by your name. Please mention why you'd like to join our team, if you are or have been on any other teams (previous DT experience is not a requirement - all will be considered!), and link to a few of your best Christmas projects on your blog so that we can get an idea of what your style is. Feel free to ask any questions about the requirements, too! The call is open for the duration of this challenge, the chosen team mate will be contacted in October and will start with the November challenge.

Now, on to this month's challenge!

July Challenge - Anything Goes and Optional: Christmas In The Sun

Welcome back! This month is often popular for creating Christmas cards, as people have a go at Christmas in July.

April Challenge - Anything Christmas and Optional: Monochromatic

Hello! Can you believe it's April already? Christmas will be here before we know it! Thank you to everyone who participated in March's challenge, which was anything christmas with the optional twist of including stamping. Be sure to check back next week to find out who our top picks are!

Our theme for this month is Anything Christmas Goes with an optional twist of Monochromatic.
