Week 707 Winners and Top 5

Hi everyone, it's Pauline here again to announce the winners and top 5 for this week's challenge - Anything Goes with option "O Christmas Tree!".

Firstly, our 2 randomly drawn winners of the stamp sets donated by one of our lovely regular entrants ...

Using random.org...

That is No. 12 - Carol Gill and No. 62 - Pam Sebring (Craftyhairlady- Iowa) (both claimed)- congratulations! Please email Brenda (details in the sidebar) by Thursday 29 December to claim your prize! Please also feel free to take our Winner's badge from the sidebar to display on your blog.

Note to prizewinners: Overseas prizes are always marked as gifts as recommended by Customs. However, several overseas winners have recently advised that Customs charges have been levied on their prize. This is beyond our control and we would ask that winners from outside the UK take this into consideration before claiming their prize.

Now to the Top 5 ... this is always so difficult with so many fabulous entries, but I eventually made a decision and here they are in order of entry.

No. 3 - Fabiola

No. 25 - Billie A

No. 37 - Diane Louise

Week 707 🎄

Good morning everyone, it's Pauline here to welcome you to this week's Allsorts challenge. I have chosen the theme this week and it is

*** Anything Goes with option O Christmas Tree! ***

So we would love to see all your makes so long as they comply with our simple challenge rules, but if you are still making a few last minute Christmas cards then hopefully the option of Christmas trees will inspire you!

This week we have two prizes on offer which have been donated by one of our regular entrants who wishes to remain anonymous ... so a big thankyou to the team - you know who you are!! Two lucky randomly selected winners will each receive one of the following two beautiful stamp sets.

All the members of the Design Team have been busy trimming their Christmas trees, and here are the results to inspire you!
