Challenge #124

Happy beautiful Friday everyone!
A quick note before I continue on with today's post:
This fun challenge will be the last of 2012 -
the Bar-Tenders and I have some shopping and cleaning to do,
so we will be taking a bit of a hiatus until January 4th.
This means you have plenty of time to join in on the fun,
and with a NEW sponsor joining us in January, it will be worth the wait!
Before I announce our new theme, congratulations to the following random winner
of a $5 gift certificate to By LORi Designs store:

 YOGI of Art With Yogi 

Yay Yogi! Please contact me for your prize!
And for our top 3 picks of our blue and white challenge:

Kertu

Diane

Kathy B.

Yay! Congratulations ladies! Please email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com with the subject line
GUEST BAR-TENDER for your assignment.

And now for our NEW challenge which will run from today until January 3, 2013:

LET IT SNOW

Chances are, we won't be getting any here in Virginia, but wishful thinking never hurts.

Let's see snow on your cards - snowflakes, snow fall, snow snow snow!

Here are the amazing Bar-Tenders with their samples:

Peggy's sweet Frosty guy

 Wanda's Winter Cutie

Thanh's Fabulous Flurry Wreath

Challenge #123

Happy Friday everyone!
Thank you so much for joining us on this chilly morning.

Here in the NEast, the weather cannot decide what it would like to do - 

earlier in the week we hit a 70* high, and yet the other morning it was *26

as the kids headed out to school. Yikes!

It definitely makes waking up hard to do. ;)
And speaking of chilly weather...
Congratulations to the following entries for last week's BUNDLED UP challenge:

Sue

Kim

 Laila aka Koneko

Yay! Ladies please email me at jonjinko@hotmail.com with the subject line as
GUEST BAR-TENDER whenever you are ready to help debute the newest challenge!

And now for this week's theme sponsored by the adorable and talented LORi Boyd:

If you haven't been to LORi's shop, you need to stop in! Her designs are so adorable,
and her selection is too hard to choose from (just thought I'd warn you). ;)

With the wintry weather upon us, we'd like to see your cards created in:

BLUES AND WHITES

 Here with some fabulous samples are two of our Guest Bar-Tenders:

Archana

Billie Anderson

Thank you ladies! I love the Spring theme for Archana's card, and Mr. Snowman is adorable on Billie's Washi tape card!

And from our Bar-Tenders:

Wanda (using Candy Cane Jane)

Thanh

Peggy

Joni (using Simon Stockingheimer)
