Changes to Allsorts format and DT's

A change of challenge format for the New Year and an invitation to apply to become an Allsorts Design Team Member

We would like to tell you about upcoming changes to our regular challenges:

• We are moving to fortnightly challenges, weekly is very fast paced so we decided to slow things down a bit. 

• The plan was for this to start in January, but as our Christmas challenge always runs for two weeks, the change will be effective from December 20th.

• From that date you will be able to enter each challenge five times and we will move to a Top 7 selected from entrants of each challenge.

• Allsorts is now in it's sixteenth year and we are so pleased that thanks to some very generous patrons we will continue to offer physical prizes for every challenge.

Our search for new Design Team members: It's been a long time since we were looking for new DT's, but that time has arrived as during the last year we have lost a few members for various personal reasons. 

If you are interested in knowing more please mail Brenda with:

• A little about yourself and style of crafting.

• Details of any existing DT's (although previous DT experience is not necessary). 

• Link to your blog (we are a blog based challenge so an active blog is essential)

Don't be shy and I promise I will reply to all applicants in a reasonable timeframe and tell you more about what is required from our team members.

Week 805 🎄

Welcome back to another challenge, it's Brenda here again and before I tell you about this weeks challenge a heads up that there will be an important post on Monday so please do keep a look out for it.

This week we say farewell to Lorraine, known to many of us as Lolo, she has been a member of the team for some time and inspired us with her colouring, we wish her well and have left the door open if she feels ready to return to crafting.

Now for our theme which is....

Magic of the Season

Another opportunity to get a few more Christmas cards made, but if yours are already done and dusted or it's not an occasion you celebrate then there is always the Anything Goes option. We are still seeing a few entries which have to be marked as ineligible so may we please remind you: You must provide brief details of products used to protect us all from possible copyright infringement.

A beautiful A 4 stamp set for this weeks lucky winner from AALL and Create.

Lots of wonderful inspiration from the Design Team....
