Passion for promarkers - Midway reminder Mega Christmas Challenge...

Good evening crafters.  Wow where did the last two weeks disappear to?  I cannot believe it’s only a week until the BIG day arrives – hope you are all done and dusted and are now sitting back and relaxing waiting to find out what Santa has brought you – you’ve all been good girls and boys, right?

Well, we are now half way through our Mega Christmas challenge and I have to say there has been some fabulous entries so far.  The theme is “hip to be square” and don’t forget you still have until 1st January 2019 to enter our challenge, although there is a maximum of 3 entries per person.

Before I share my DT make, here is a quick reminder of the prizes up for grabs:

WOW amazing prizes – I'm sure you’ll agree!
For my DT creation, I made a light up box frame using the Sizzix Forest Frame die.  I coloured the trees with a combination of cool colour Promarkers and the deer and animals with corresponding colours.  I added a touch of highlight with a gold pen and some crystal glitter, then attached the battery operated LEDs in the back of the frame and a simple sentiment finished it off.
So to re-cap the challenge will run until 1st January 2019 and you can enter a maximum of 3 times.  Please continue to link up your cards with Mr Linky in our original post here.

We can’t wait to see your creations and look forward to visiting your blogs.  We’ll be back in 2 week’s time to launch our new challenge and also to announce all the lucky winners of our amazing prizes.  Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it lol!

Before I go I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year and thank you for all the love and support that you’ve shown us in 2018.  Without you and all of our generous sponsors our little challenge blog would not be the success it is and still going strong after all these years.  We hope you will all continue to support us in the new year.
Huge crafty hugs,

Passion for Promarkers - Mega Christmas Challenge...

Good morning, my lovelies! Well, it seems I am a little late to the party! With so much going on at the moment, I forgot to Publish my post to announce our Mega Christmas Challenge over at Passion for Promarkers...better late than never?!...

This week we are launching our very special “Mega Christmas challenge” which runs for a whole month and ends on 1st January 2019!  I’m sure you’ll agree that both design teams have worked extremely hard once again this year and they deserve a little break to catch up on their last minute gifts and cards.  However to make up for the lack of challenges we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!
Our very simple theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “hip to be square”.  We would like to see your square cards/creations for this challenge.  You are welcome to make Christmas creations but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation as long as you follow the theme.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

So now for the exciting bit – the prizes!
