Here at RTB we are so excited to kick off a new year of crafting!
We encourage you to challenge yourself, raise your own level of crafting, and keep your resolution to use those new stamping items. And yes, we will even use those supplies that you just had to have in your collection. ;)

Challenge #86

Hello everyone and happy December! Just a fair warning - there are a few things that I will be covering in this blog post so get your coffee and get comfy. ;)
First off, a huge thank you for all your participation in last week's Thank You/Grateful challenge last week! It was a beautiful way to celebrate the holidays, seeing all the thankful gorgeous cards. I will be showcasing the winners in a bit...

After seeing the Bar grow, we realize that we need a few more employees to help stir up the concoctions. Yes, we are having a DESIGN TEAM call throughout the entire month of December. The requirements are simple - one card a week, and posting it to your blog on Fridays. Easy peasy, right? We will be resuming our first Friday of the month sponsorship come the new year, which means that you will be receiving some fun digis from different companies as a designer! If you are interested, please put the initials DT next to your entry for this upcoming challenge.

And speaking of challenge, we will be taking a December hiatus for all of our holiday busyness. This challenge will be the only challenge until we see you again in January, so please join in on the fun! The winners will be announced in the new year, along with our newest Bar-Tenders who will be contacted over the holidays.

Before we move on to this week's theme, congratulations to the following Thank You/Grateful participants:


Margie

Melissa

Congratulations, ladies! Please contact me any time this month for January's theme. Thank you!
And now on to this month's challenge:
It's Beginning To Look a lot Like Christmas!

We want to see what this month means to you, whether it be a wintry card, shopping, religious, or whimsical, share it with us!
Here are some wonderful samples by the Guest Bar-Tender Fiona and the Design Team:

SEASON'S GREETINGS FROM US ALL,
we'll see you in 2012!

Thank you so much for joining in on our December challenge! Remember, to be considered for a Design Team positon, please put DT next to your name or entry. Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!

    Wow! How exciting! Thank you so much for selecting my card to amongst your winners. I emailed you privately, Joni. I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted or not. Great line up of cards this week, too.

    Wonderful creations by you & your DT. Entered 2 items (saw that someone else had multiple entries so I'm figuring that's allowed): 1st one a Blue Bird ornament & 2nd one a Winter Card.

    Wpwzer are your DT cards amazing. I'd love to point out 1 I like the best (I don't hesitate when that is the case - I know we all have preferences and figure we are all mature to not take it personally) but truly I can not! They are all so different and all so beautiful in their own right. You have an absolutely incredible DT Team! The vintage, the modern, the sophisticated, the fun...what a great display! It makes it really nice for us, as entrants, to see and inspire from this. Thank you DT's! Spirited Love, Samara
