CMC Holiday Bash


Good Morning,

Are you ready to kick off the month with lots of fun and goodies? If you said yes, then you are at the right place!


Starting today December 7th the CMC Classroom will have its annual month-long Holiday Bash Celebration! Nothing more fun then having some fun challenges, games and prizes to start the season off right!? I hope you will find time to stop in and look around, join in and just have some fun. The Holiday Bash is really my way of THANKING ALL OF YOU for your continued support, friendship and patronage to the Classroom. So a lot of fun and a way to WIN SOME HUGE prizes from our sponsor!

Details:

*Starts today Dec. 7th with a Holiday Blog Hop featuring projects by the CMC DT to kick off the month-long CMC Challenge!! And another way for you to win if you hop along!

*Every week will be a NEW Challenge and Prize...think scavenger hunts, puzzles, games!

*Charity Raffle - I'm giving away a NEW Silhouette Cameo machine to a lucky someone! How can you win it? Everytime you participate in a challenge during the month you get an entry for it. Also for every $3 you donate to the Charity (TBA) you get an entry. Every year I pick a different Charity to help...so far we've raised $3200 over the years..and to me the season is all about GIVING so that's why I always include this.

If you arrived from Andi 's blog then you are on the right track. "Don't forget to leave a comment on everyone's blog for a chance to win a prize!"  



Ski Edwin with Snowflakes was colored with Copic Markers E000, E00, R20, E31, YR20, YR21, C1, C3, C5, Y00, Y11, Y13, Y15, R22, R24. I use Snowwriter and Martha Stewart fine white glitter to create the fur and pom pom on his hat. I also used this plus perfect pearls to create the snowflakes in the background. The black, gold, silver paper is handmade I bought it last year at a specialty store and thought this was the perfect paper for the challenge -Metallics. I used Memory Box dies Frosty Border, Crystal Snowflake, Frostyville Border.
