Creative Fingers ♥ Christmas


♥  God Jul & Godt NyttÅr! ♥
 
I dagens blogpost hos Creative Fingers takker DesignTeamet våre flotte sponsorer, og jeg vil sende en spesiell takk til Rick St. Dennis.
Denne godslige julenissen (som ser ut som om han har drukket litt for mye jule-øl...) er et av mine absolutte favoritt motiver fra RSD ♥

..og vi har også en Christmas blogcandy gående helt frem til 24. Januar, da vi har tatt en liten pause med utfordringene :)

♥ Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! ♥ 

Today the DT's of Creative Fingers Challenge blog is thanking our generous sponsors through this past year! We have created cards for all the awesome artists, and I would like to say a special thank you to Rick St. Dennis ♥
 I have used one of my absolute favourite images of his ~ the 'Cocoa and cookies Santa' .. he is so very jolly, that I think it's christmas-beer, not cocoa in his mug ;)

We're also having a Christmas Blogcandy, wich will stay open until January 24th. as the DesignTeam are on an extended holiday break from the challenges ♥

[.. This is a sticky post ~ for new posts, please scroll on down! ..]

This is a very special kind of blogcandy as I usually make them last under a month ~ this time around I'm going to treat one of you sweet crafters to such a HUGE Christmas surprise that I'm only opening up one door on the image below each or every other week, for a sneaky peak of the blogcandy, up until the 1st. of December when all will be revealed :) 
 

[.. Image will be updated w. sneakpeaks each time I open a door! ..]

Exited yet??? IF you are on the fence on wether to enter or not, know my candies are always yummy, just take a look at previous ones here :) 
I can promise there will be gorgeous stamps and charms, ribbons and bling, designer papers and other yummy treats ♥

THE BIG REVEAL DAY IS HERE!!!




And the extra goodies!

Waiting behind theese doors there is a huge pot of scrapping goodies that's worth about 250,- new ever-growing total is currently: 450,- NOK. Wich equals to about $32 $55 !!!
For every person that enters I will actually throw in something extra to sweeten the pot! Could be a clearstamp or just a ribbon, or some prima flowers, but my scraproom is full ..I tend to hoard.. some might say it looks like a whole shops inventory! So I imagine the winner will end up very happy come christmas time :)


This BlogCandy is open to all my fellow crafters ~ I will ship worldwide ~ and I would sure appreciate it if you were a follower of my blog, but it's not necessary to win though ♥

However, I would be very happy if you could please spread the word by mentioning this candy either with a link and/or photo of it on your own blog (sidebar is fine) or if you have no blog ~ another place, like a pin, instagram, facebook, twitter etc. 

Again, this is not necessary to do to win ~ only if you want to make the blogcandy grow, then it would help if more people knew about it ♥

But please ~ NO 'in it for the Candy only' ~ non-crafty people are not allowed. I will also remove any spam comments or double entries

Now then, make your entry with a comment on this post saying the magic words 'Yes please!' or something similar. And on December 1st. I will put all your names in an imaginary hat and pick a lucky winner who will be getting a craftylicious package for christmas ♥
