It's beginning to look a lot like christmas......:o)

Woo-hoo - It's finally arrived.....the very first Joanna Sheen Challenge.   I am so excited about that this that I've been wishing away the last few weeks! 

I'm hoping you'll all join me and the rest of the awesome design team - they really have come up trumps with some fab festive makes!!!

You may enter a card, scrapbook page or other papercraft item into our challenge as long as it fits the given theme or sketch.  You can use any image you like but if you do use a Joanna Sheen image you will get put into the prize draw twice. 

The winner of the Joanna Sheen Monthly Challenge (which will be chosen by random.org) will win a £30 gift voucher kindly donated by Joanna Sheen to spend in her on-line shop!!!

The DT will also pick their top 3 makes and we will also give one of you the opportunity to join us in our fab Guest Designer spot.


For our first challenge the theme is:-

Christmas Wishes

It's a nice and easy one to kick us off and given that it's December we want to see all your Christmas cards!!!



















For more details of what Joanna Sheen products etc were used on the DT cards please click on the DT members name to link up to their personal blogs!!!

We really hope that you will join in the fun - Please add your crafty makes to Mr Linky and if you would like to be considered for our March Guest Designer spot please add GDT to your name!!!

Thanks for looking!!!
