Challenge No. 1 - Winner

Well I think our first challenge can safely be called a success.  We had 29 entries and a lot of positive comments from followers.  The standard was excellent and I've had a hard time picking a top three (so hard I needed the DT members to help me out).  Without further ado, our top three cards were

Congratulations girls, you can take our 'Top 3' badge from the sidebar and wear it with pride.

And now onto the winner of the challenge prize...

I used random.org and typed everyones names in (will have to sort out mr linky) and here is the result

So congratulations to Nicky, send your details to blogcandy@donnasden.co.uk and I will get the prize out to you as soon as possible (hopefully you'll get it before Christmas).

A big thanks to everyone who entered and look out for our next challenge on 1st January 2010.

Our new challenge is here, woohoo!

I hope everyone is looking forward to this new challenge as much as we all have been.  There's been lots of really positive comments over the last few weeks which have been very encouraging.  So given that our challenge is starting on December 1st, I've set the theme of Christmas.  There are a few rules:

1. The card must be for a man/boy.
2. You need to follow the theme/sketch that is set.
3. It must be a new card.

That's all, I don't mind if you combine challenges with other blogs or anything like that.  I haven't been able to sort out a 'Mr Linky' so please just leave a comment on this post with a direct link to your entry.

What's the prize, you might ask?  Well since it's our launch and nearly Christmas, our sponsor,

 has put up the prize of a Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro.  You can find out all about it here.

Now isn't that a great prize.  Now onto our Design Team, who have been very busy behind the scenes.  We're all quite new to this but raring to go...
