FBC 76 Month long prize challenge

We had A LOT of winners to award for last months challenge, 

so if you want to check and see if you are one of them, please go HERE

So... how is everyone?

Frazzled getting ready for the holidays? 

Baking, planning parties, buying gifts?

MAKING GIFTS, creating thousands of Cards, 

trying to juggle everything and still smile?

We totally understand!!!

That is why we are taking it easy this month. 

We are having ONE challenge for the entire month!

CHRISTMAS!!!

We want to see EVERY Christmas card you create

If you use a FBD image and add FBD to your name, you 

will be in an EXTRA drawing for something special :D 

The others will be chosen by random to win 3 digis of choice. 

how many winners will there be?

we,, I chose the most important word in Christmas and chose our number that way

CHRIST. He is the ultimate gift and I do not want to do anything to take away from that. This holiday is about Him, every day should be about him and  how he came and lived a holy life, taught others, healed, helped, died and did it all just because he loves us so much. I don't know about you, but that type of love is so unexplainable. It makes me feel wonderful, but gives me chills all at the same time. 

So ... that being said, there will be 6 winners this month :)

Our beautiful DT has created several cards to share with you today, many using our 12 Sentimental Days of Christmas image #3. If you are asking what this is... I will tell you really quickly. We are hosting an extended Mocha Manic Monday this month. We are giving a sentiment and an occasional digi over the next 12 (well now 9) days. Stop by the shop for yours!

Linda: Sentiment Freebie and A Snowman's Gift digi

Vanessa: Sentiment Freebie and A Snowman's Christmas digi

Sheryl: Sentiment Freebie and My Snowman digi

Heather: NEW DIGIS

Girl with a Snowman

Boy with a Candy Cane

I'm Telling Tuesday!!!

Remember when I told you to be looking out for Tom Turkey to make his second appearance?
