BIG WEEK AT THE CRAFTY PAD

Well, it all kicks off at THE CRAFTY PAD this week so we hope you'll all join in and have fun. There are lots of prizes on offer and a sale on in the shop too. The sale will run for ONE WEEK to coincide with the challenge so you have until Sat 11th Dec 8pm GMT. Click on the banner in my side bar to take you there.

It is our 100th challenge so we are having a bit of a 'do' to celebrate, so grab yourself a coffee, sit down and read on. :o) You'll have to get to the end to find out what prizes are on offer and of course, the rules you must follow. *teehee*

There is also a Promarker colouring tutorial on the main blog this week. So if you feel you need a little help with your colouring, pop over and have a read.

The challenge this week is ANYTHING GOES!!!! How brilliant is that? So, if you're all Christmas carded out, you can just do what you please. Yay! I say, lol. Before I show you what I made, there's lots more to tell you.

What's next? Oh, yeah. EVERY member of our Design Team has a mini competition on their blogs. They are all 'guess the amount' so please do visit the DT members blogs and have a go at all of them. Here's your first one:

GUESS HOW MANY FLOWER GEMS THERE ARE.


You can give me your answer in a comment and the winner will be announced next Saturday. If nobody guesses the correct amount then the nearest guess will win the prize and if more than one of you get the same answer then we will use random.org to choose the winner.

Next up...what you MUST do to join in.

1. Follow CP blog and enter the current challenge.
2. Guess how many gems are in my pic.
3. Display the celebration badge on your blog.
4. Only one entry per person

Closes Sat 11th Dec 8pm GMT

OK so far? Right. The winners of the mini comps on the DT's blogs will each win a digital image of their choice from The Crafty Pad and as you will also be entering the main challenge, you will be eligible to win the main prize. To win that, you must:

GUESS HOW MANY RIBBONS ARE IN THE JAR.



Post your answer to this one in the comment box of the Crafty Pad Challenge Blog.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN.

There will be one winner who will get:
1 pk5 Promarkers sponsored by LETRASET and 6 polymer stamps from The Crafty Pad Stamp Designs - (Holly Mouse with Bauble, Milo Mouse - Congratulations, Platform Shoe, Molly Cat with Birdhouse, Anna over the Rainbow and Snoozin' Albert).
There will also be a £10.00 voucher from JOANNA SHEEN.
Not bad, eh?



There will be one runner up (for nearest guess) who will receive:

THE SHOP SALE:
A 30% discount on all polymer stamp orders and 10% on all digi images for the week the challenge is running.

IMPORTANT!!!!!
All orders for that week ARE TO BE EMAILED to Debbie through the shop (details on shop front) and she will confirm your balance to you to pay through paypal.


Right, I think that's it, so please join in, visit the other blogs and have fun.

For my challenge this week, I made a little box from one sheet of 12 x 12 card and used the image Ted pulling Snowman from the Crafty Pad. I coloured him using my Distress Ink Pads. I inked the top of the letters and the snowflakes using Broken China distress ink and then glittered them. The paper I found in my stash and I used my Craft Robo again to cut the text and the snowflakes. The border along the front edge was made using an EK Success punch 'Swirl'.






I shall enter my box into the following challenges:
BUGABOO - Anything Goes.
BEE CRAFTY - Winter but not Christmas specific. (not sure if this qualifies or not?)
SECRET CRAFTER - Christmas.

MAMI DOODLES - Gift Item (does a gift box count?).
SEW MANY CARDS - Snowflakes.
THE STAMPMAN - Christmas and 3 colours. (blue, orange, brown..assuming b/w don't count, lol).
WAGS 'N WHISKERS - Snowflakes.
STAMPAVIE - Snow/Snowflakes.
STAMP SOMETHING - Christmas Combo stuff.
DELICIOUS DOODLES - Use a Digi.
2 SISTERS - Sparkly Christmas
