Around The World Challenge Winner

Welcome to Quirky Crafts Challenge blog, sorry this is a little late, but I blame the snow! It's freezing! I hope you are all nice and snug in the warm!
Thank you to everyone who joined in with Caro's Around the World Challenge and my apologies for not popping round to all your blogs and reminding you all to vote! But never mind as we on The DT and the public vote have chosen the same lovely card designed by Diane!

Congratulations Diane, we loved your Oriental Anniversary quad fold/shutter card. Would you please take a winners banner from the side bar to display on your blog. This also means, we would love you to join us as a Guest Designer sometime in the New Year.
And talking about Design Teams and Designers and Guest Designers, yes! We have been blog hopping around to all you lovely Crafters who have contacted us about joining our team, and we have decided we'd love you all to join us in the New Year. Cazzy will be letting you all know after the Christmas Holidays. And yes, Quirky Craft's is taking a short break over the Christmas Festivities and will be back on...

Sunday January 2nd with a New Challenge!
We also have some lovely sponsors lined up and are also looking to fill a few spaces in 2011

So, to all our followers and supporters of our challenges over the last year we, Cazzy, Caro and me, Lyn, all wish you a...

Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
And Look forward to seeing you all in 2011!!

Challenge 40: Around The World by Caro

Welcome to Quirky Crafts Challenge blog and thank you to everyone who joined in with Cazzy's fun recipe challenge.

Now, talking about Designers, we have had lots of interest and will be announcing the new design team in the next few weeks. In the meantime, as you all know, it is challenge time again here on the Quirky Crafts Challenge blog and this time it is my turn, aka Caro's turn to set the challenge, which is 'Around the World!'. Feel free to interpret this in anyway you chose...travel, a different country etc and yes, as it is coming up to Christmas we will be lenient... penguins are from Antarctica, and polar bears are from the Arctic! We look forward to seeing your craft projects, and don't forget this is a mixed media challenge, so any craft project can be submitted as long as it can be interpreted as Around The World!
