GUEST DESIGNER
SHARON

My name is Sharon and I live “Down Under” in Australia. Although I am predominately a card maker I also love to create journal pages, atc’s and fabric creations. I love any style from vintage to cute! I love to colour with Copic markers, I love embellishments and charms and lots of layers and textures on my creations. I’m honoured to be a Guest Designer for Fitztown for the next two months and hope I can inspire you with my creations using the wonderful images available in the store!

Challenge No. 64 - Red/Green Using Color Challenge Digital Elements

Welcome fellow bloggers! Ema here to show you what the Team and I have created with this week's challenge using red and green colors! It's December and a red and green theme would certainly help you get started on your Christmas cards if you haven't done so yet but it doesn't have to be Christmas themed. This is a color challenge. We'd love to have you join in on the fun!

I'd also like to announce that we will be taking a Christmas break after the December 15th challenge. That will be our final challenge for 2014. We will be back on January 5th with a new format and we will announce the winners for the three final 2014 challenges at that time so be sure to check back with us after the new year if you're looking to see if you've won or made TOP 3!

Challenge No. 63 - Pink and Silver Christmas AND Challenge No. 60 Winner

Hi! fellow crafters, Judy here with Challenge 63.  The challenge is a Pink and Silver Christmas.  Lots of ideas came to my head with this theme. I can not wait to see what our talented participants come up with this week. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But before we get to the challenge, we've changed the format for the blog a bit. Ema made the official announcement a week ago and you can read all about it here. 

So for now,  it's time to announce the winner of Challenge #60 - Romance and Love hosted by Team A a couple of weeks ago.
Tammy A 
is our lucky winner this week!

Now that Fitztown allows ALL digital images, the prizes have changed. You can find info about these changes here. 

Please email stampnscrapjunkie@gmail.com with the (ONE) image you chose from Fitztown within seven (7) days. You can shop for images here.  Please use Challenge #60 Winner in the subject line. Be sure to do that! Ema sends out images for various challenges and it can get confusing for her when all it reads is 'Winner' on the subject line! Don't forget to grab your winner badge located here to display proudly on your blog's sidebar! If prize goes unclaimed, winner will be drawn again with the next challenge winner announcement. CT Coordinator chooses a TOP 3 from ALL entries only if we have at least 10 entries. We did not have enough entries for a TOP 3.

Creative Team Coordinator Ema will announce the winner and TOP 3 for Challenge #61 - Glitz and Glamour on Monday, December 1st with the new challenge Team C will be hosting that week. 
Be sure to come back and visit that day because we will be announcing a change in the format of the blog. We don't want you missing out on that!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now... let's get on to our challenge!

We look forward to seeing your wonderful creations.

Don't forget, this is now a weekly challenge starting today and ending on Sunday.

So for now,  it's time to announce the winner of Challenge #59 - Distress hosted by Team B a couple of weeks ago.

So without further ado...here's my choice...

Congratulations #6 - Norma

Guest Designers

We have a Guest Designer joining us today! She used a Fitztown image on a previous challenge and anytime someone uses a Fitztown image, we invite these participants to join the team for a challenge. The Guest Designer is allowed to select a free image from the store for their use! 

Today, we have NanaConnie and here's a little something she'd like you to know about her:

I'm a proud Nana of 6 plus Great-Nana to two. I'm a child of God, lover of people, and hoping to actually retire one of these days. Right now, I just 'pretend' to be retired. I craft because I love working with my hands, and creating things both frivolous and practical.

Guest Designers

We have a Guest Designer joining us today! She used a Fitztown image on a previous challenge and anytime someone uses a Fitztown image, we invite these participants to join the team for a challenge. The Guest Designer is allowed to select a free image from the store for their use! 

Today, we have Laine and here's a little something she'd like you to know about her:

I love everything about crafting which also includes knitting, crocheting, sewing, writing and photography. I have been collecting supplies for a long time and if you were to ask my daughters the would say I have enough stuff to open my own shop. When I am creating it takes me to a place that is magical and relaxing. Doing something I love is a gift and I feel so blessed I am able to share my passion with so many talented and amazing women every day.
With smiles
