A farewell challenge at St Luke's

Hello everyone.... I'm sad to say, as the title suggests, this will be the last challenge at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge. It hasn't been an easy decision for Tara to make but logistical and personal reasons have left her with no option...... I'll leave it to Tara to explain in her own words here.

 ....So this last Challenge is just for fun as a Thank You for your continued support over the last 18months and yes there is a prize up for grabs too but we are no longer requiring you to send your cards to St Luke's anymore.

This month is another Christmas themed challenge and we'd like to see your traditional Christmas cards this time which could be interpreted in the colours or images.... I love seasonal greenery at this time of the year so went with the classic Christmas Poinsettia...


I love Kraft for Christmas cards and thought I'd cut a white flower with my spellbinders dies instead of the usual red and dust the centre of the petals with green chalk :0)

As it's the last challenge we have a bumper prize for you which contains two stamp sets and a die...

I would be lovely if you could play along with us this month for fun... and I'm sure you'll join me in thanking Tara for all the time she has spent over the last 18 mths organising and coordinating this monthly challenge and then sorting and selling your cards in all weathers to raise funds for the St Luke's Hospice :0)

I've certainly enjoyed working with Tara and the team for the last 14mths and I'm sure we'll keep bumping into each other in blogland :0)

Thanks for stopping by

It's been fabulous working with such lovely ladies whom I now count amongst my friends - another great thing to come out of the challenge on top of the fund raising.

    As for the challenge, I'm sorry to hear it's ending! But there is an ebb and flow to these things and folks have to do what's best for themselves and their situation:)
