Challenge #5 Winners - White Winter

I apologise for the lateness of this post, so hard for the EDT girls to make their choices - Again.

Well done to Everyone and thank you.

We got there in the end you'll be glad to hear and with no further ado, we have, in no particular order,

# 8 - Ulla

# 10 - Leigh Snaith-Brunton

# 13 - Kym's Crafty Cards

Please contact Rick for your prize images

and the lucky winner of that £5 gift certificate kindly donated by Stamping Dragon Designs

is 

# 4 - Crafty Girl

Please contact Natalyia for your prize.

Thank you all once again for both your support and your patience.

I'd like to wish you all on behalf of Rick St Dennis and the EDT girls, a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays. However you spend these next few days, make sure you do so safely, hopefully surrounded by the love of family.

Challenge # 6 - Last Minute Shopping

Morning everyone

Before anything is said about the last challenge and the one we have for you all over the next two weeks, can we all spare some thought time for those families that have lost loved ones and will be grieving over this period. Instead of it being a time of good cheer, it will be a time of sadness. I am, of course, speaking particularly of those that left this world in Newtown CT this month. 

If there are any people out there that wish to show their respects, the address that has been published is 

Sandy Hook Elementary School.

12 Dickenson Drive

Sandy Hook.

CT 06482

USA

Let us also not forget those other families who, for whatever reason, will be placing a special bauble on their tree in remembrance of a loved one.

Now, after wiping away a tear

A very big thank you to those people that kindly shared their art with us in our White Winter challenge. Again, the standard is amazing and we will be along later to let you know who won all the prizes.

The big question on many peoples' lips now is "Are you all ready for the Celebrations?"

Well, are you?

Everything bought and stored? Bedding arranged for those overnight guests? All cards sent and gift wrapping done? 

Or are you leaving all to the last minute?

Last Minute Shopping - something I, for one, vow every year not to have to do, but then with those inevitable last minute hiccups, always end up doing anyway.

We have yet another wonderful and generous sponsor this challenge.

Stitchy Bear have kindly donated a $10 Gift Certificate to be awarded to one lucky winner. There are so many images to choose from drawn by a variety of very talented artists, there's going to be loads you'll want to choose.

There's the usual EDT choices that will win some of Rick's fabulous images 

Rick St Dennis has some fabulous images, both new and the old favourites, available in his Etsy shop, just right for this challenge. Whether you like them traditional or downright creepy, there's something for everyone.

We, on the EDT, would like to see those last minute makes. Those gift bags and tags that make an ordinary gift something more special. Those last minute cards for friends and family who have decided that they'd rather spend time with you this holiday period. Even those last minute cookies you've baked and packaged, all festively, for a neighbour. Whatever your Last Minute Preparations are, care to show us? We'd love to see and  get inspiration from you.

The girls on Team Sparkle and the Boss himself have some projects we'd like to share with you. Do they inspire you? We do hope so.

I know it's been said in the past, but maybe if I put it down here near to Mr Linky, those that don't read all that's written might see it. If you use a Rick St Dennis image, please add a link to your project first then for you second entry, add a link to your blog. Those that don't, miss out when it comes to Mr Random picking a prize winner.

Challenge #4 winners - Twisted Holidaze

Although there are 3 Creepmas bloghops going on I, for one, was surprised at the few entries we had. Saying that, All of the EDT were bowled over by the standard of those that did link up and show us their wares.
Well done to Everyone and thank you. You did, of course make it very difficult to choose just three for the EDT choices.
We got there in the end you'll be glad to hear and with no further ado, we have, in no particular order,

#27  Caroline

#30  Alipeeps

#32  Blackdragon

If you would like to contact Rick by email, he'll send you the prize.

Don't forget - our new challenge is now live and we're going more traditional with the Christmas cheer.

Many have missed out on two entries into the draw. You've been using Rick's images and not linking twice. 

Challenge # 5 - White Winter

Morning everyone. 

We hope you're enjoying your journey with Rick St Dennis and the team through the 13 Days of Creepmas. Not joined us yet? For more info on this - do pop along to Rick's Airless Chambers Blog. There's still a week to go where you could be winning TWO of Rick's awesome images - just for commenting on a couple of the participating blogs. We'd love to see you.

Is it that everyone is so busy making and getting ready for the holiday season that blogland is being forgotten? Or are the more traditional cards are being focused on?
  
With three weeks to show us your Twisted Holidaze makes, some fabulous projects were produced and the winners will be posted as soon as we can decide.

We have a more traditional challenge for you this week, will we see more of you come and join in?

A massive apology everyone. This post is a lot later than I had hoped.

Looking forward to seeing those Twisted Holidaze projects come rolling in.

Challenge # 4 - Twisted Holidaze

Morning everyone.

It would appear that our "Remembering" theme was not as popular with you guys compared to the previous challenges.  Maybe it's because the Christmas/Winter festival is just around the corner and it's that holiday that you're getting prepared for.

We will be back later to announce the winners of the Remembering challenge. Don't forget to come back and check to see if your project has been chosen.

Are you ready for another challenge? 

We do so hope you are. 

We have another fantastic sponsor lined up for you.

 Smeared Ink.

If you haven't checked out the Alternative, Vintage and Gothic Art stamps that this company has to offer and you like something a bit different, maybe this is the time to do so. One lucky winner is going to get the chance to go shopping for digi stamps with a voucher worth $15.

There will, of course be the three projects chosen by the EDT to receive a prize of some digi stamps from Rick St Dennis. 

This next two weeks we're giving you a chance to take a fun or freaky poke at the Winter Holiday season. To be a bit bizarre or creepy but also have FUN.

TWISTED HOLIDAZE
Any holiday, you choose. The EDT have chosen the holiday towards the end of December, but there are many more to choose from. Just make it obvious which one you choose to depict. 

Rick St Dennis has some fabulous images available in his Etsy shop, just right for this challenge. Whether you like them traditional or downright creepy, there's something for everyone.

Why not use this challenge as a warm up for the 13 Days of Creepmas? Want to know more about this? The full information can be found here. 

Team Sparkle has been working hard this time to bring you some fantastic and inspirational pieces. I'm sure you'll agree. Working with both Rick's images and those of our sponsor, Smeared Ink.
