Winner and TOP 3s

Oops! We've forgotten to announce our winners for Challenges 61 - Glitz and Glamour and 62 - Anything Goes! What?!? I apologize! I've gone back to work and it's taking me WAY longer than I thought it would to get used to an evening blogging schedule! haha So very sorry about this. I don't think it will happen again!

I will announce the winners for Challenge 61 and Challenge 62 and then I will announce the TOP 3s.

Our intention is to use Random.org if we have OVER ten participants; otherwise, (Creative Team) CT Coordinator will chose the winner. So for Challenge 61 - Glitz and Glamour, we had 10 participants so on to the winner.
#3 - Maxibell Studio

Please use Challenge #61 - FCB Winner in the subject line.

For Challenge 62 - Anything Goes, we had 52 entries. Random.org chose:

#49 - Julie Gleeson

Please use Challenge #62 FCB Winner in the subject line.

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 above reference in the subject line. I send out digis for several challenge blogs and I confuse easily these days! 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. 
So for Challenge 61 - Glitz and Glamour, the TOP 3s are:

It started yesterday and you have until Sunday to link up! Remember, it must have some digital elements and the primary image MUST be digital. Thank you for playing along with us at FCB!

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!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is now a weekly challenge starting today and ending on Sunday.

For this challenge, you have until this Sunday, midnight EST USA to enter your project. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Good luck everyone and let the fun begin!

Check out these creations from some of our CT! 

Please be sure to leave some blog love for them! If click on their name you can pop on over to their personal blogs so you can leave some love there, too! They sure do appreciate it when you stop by to visit! Don't we all?

Barb's Saturday Post - It's Holiday Time!

I hope all of my USA friends had a lovely Thanksgiving! And here's to everyone for a beautiful holiday season!!

I've been eyeballs deep in Christmas cards for the past couple of months. It's the best time of year to be a cardmaker, right? Right!

For this one I used Fitztown's candle image. I love this image for its simplicity - that makes it so versatile! A little color, a little glitter and the holidays are set a-glow.

To find out just how I made this card and to see some of my other projects, please join me on my blog at In the Studio with Barb.

Thanks and I hope your holiday season is filled with lots of fun craft projects!

Official Announcements

Hi Blogland! Ema here with a few announcements. 

First, most importantly, we have gone from a bi-weekly challenge to a weekly challenge format. We did this three weeks ago and I've been derelict in my duties as a Creative Team Coordinator because I've got LOTS of stuff going on in my personal life. Can you believe it? Who'd have heard of such a thing!?! lol

So with the weekly challenge format, we will begin announcing the winners to the challenges on Mondays when the new challenge is announced. I've gone to great lengths to make this as confusing as possible, so listen up carefully. ;)

We've three Teams with a Team Leader. Each Team will host a different week. The easy part is that they are Team A, Team B and Team C. haha Tomorrow's challenge is hosted by Team B. Team Leader will announce the winner for Challenge No. 59 - Distress because Team B hosted this particular weekly challenge. Next Monday, Team A will announce the winners to Challenge No. 60 - Romance and Love and so forth. Right now, the teams are not in alphabetical order and the reasoning for that is complex so kinda just watch what Team you play along with... or better yet... play along every week and then come back on Mondays to find out if you won! Haha! :) Easy peasy, right? lol 

We have GREAT plans for 2015! We will be finishing up with 2014 with the challenge on December 15th. It will be the last challenge for this year. I feel my hard-working Team and I need a well-deserved break! We will be back on January 5th with a vengeance! lol So be sure to keep watch for exciting changes in the new year! The Team and I are on pins and needles awaiting the changes!

We've lost Team members and added Team members and I've not been able to keep up with making the appropriate announcements so I'm gonna lay them all down for you here as I announce the Teams. 

First, we miss some Team members who had to leave for one reason or another and these are:

Lorraine Lowe

Diane Ahlers

Meggi Bischoff (temporarily)

We've added some Team members and these are:

Tanya Johnson

Lisa Jannaway

Laine Kammeraad

Now the fun part! I'm announcing the current Teams!

Team A:

Judy McKay  - Team Leader

Judy will be leaving the Team effective 2015. In 2015, Cathie Borowski will be Team Leader.

Dianne Jones

Kate Leroche

Billie Anderson

Meggi Bischoff

Team B:

Lynn Haines - Team Leader

Hazel Lawson

Rachelle Green

Tracey Mowbray

Antonia Passer

Team C: 

Tanya Johnson - Team Leader (I will be taking a less active visible role on the Team. Tanya has graciously offered to lead Team C.)

Julie Odil

Lisa Jannaway

Laine Kammeraad

Cathie Borowski (temporarily)

We have two long-time Team members who post as she and I can: 

Sande

Ema

We continue to have two Team members who post on Saturdays and these are:

Barb Black

Ivy (Ivette) Segarra-Steele

If you'd like to put a face to the name, please visit our Creative Team page here.

All these changes came about because of the upheaval in my personal life. I've not been able to keep up with the blog as I once did and the Team Leaders have stepped up to help me out. I'll be taking a less visible behind the scenes role with the challenge blog. That is making sure winners receive their images, arranging Guest Designers to join the Team and assisting the sponsored challenges as I can. 

I hope you've enjoyed reading about the team and what we're up to these days!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is another Fitztown image that I wanted to share.  

Hope you join in on the challenge!

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.
