Welcome back to another AnnaBelle Bling Sketch Challenge!  What a fun year 2010 has been, and I am looking forward - with lots of excitement - towards 2011.  AnnaBelle Stamps is still only a baby really, but we are hoping you will love what you see in 2011.  We are always open to your ideas and suggestions both for the products we sell and for the challenges we do, so email me anytime!


We have a winner for the December challenges, with 32 entries random.org selected no 29, so congratulations go to Karin from Peppermint Patty!


We have a little something extra coming to our challenges from todays challenge!  When you enter any of our challenges through the month using an AnnaBelle Stamp and upload it to that months challenge file in the Gallery you could be one of our Guest Designers!  Check all the details out HERE!

This doesn't change anything here...we are still open to you using any stamps and embellishments in your projects for the challenges :) and will still be entered in the monthly prize of a gift voucher to spend at AnnaBelle Stamps!
Here's this months (January) sketch :

Merry Christmas

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all you lovely ladies (and gentlemen?) who come and visit and play along when you can.  This blog is not just about promoting the AnnaBelle range, but to also have fun as we share the craft we love.  Each week I am inspired by the creations you share with us, and enjoy visiting your blogs along the way...blogs are a unique way to get to know other people from all over the world!  How lucky are we to be living in this era!

Have a very Blessed and special Christmas with whomever you share it with.

Hugs,

Andrea

Preview 2 - Backgrounds By Design 2

Welcome everyone to our second preview this month...Backgrounds By Design 2!  

It's great to have pattern stamps for creating your own backgrounds or easily jazzing up plain DP with a touch of your own flair!  These stamps are a great length at approximately 5.5" and so will easily reach across a card!
Come along hopping with us today leaving a comment on each of the DT blogs, then back here to the ABS blog to let us know you've finished.  You have until the 19th December 12.00pm AEDT to leave your comments and the winners to both sets will be announced later in the afternoon, with sets available for purchase that day!
Start the Hop HERE and we hope you enjoy what you see :)
Hugs,
Andrea

Say It In...

...Green & Red!  Now these colours do remind us of Christmas, but you don't have to follow that theme to play along!  You can combine this challenge with our current sketch for a double shot at the monthly prize as well!!
Christmas is now only just around the corner, and we are reminded everywhere we go with beautiful decorations, and the traditional Christmas Carols and songs playing in the shops.  I must admit that this time of year has always been very special, and I love all that comes with it!
Todays card comes from Ida who has created a beautiful traditional Christmas card for us.  The other DT girls have come up with some great cards as well so be sure to pop on over and leave them some loving lol!  You'll find their links below and in the side bar.
