Vintage Christmas Winner, Pinworthies and Secret Santa Give-Away Winner

Hi everyone and welcome to our first Winner and Pinworthies post of 2016, and just to make it extra special we've got our Secret Santa Give-Away winner to announce too.

It's so nice to be able to celebrate the Winner and Pinworthies of our Vintage Christmas Challenge theme, but as always we thank all of you who joined us on the journey last month.

We had so many fabulous entries to the Vintage Christmas Challenge, incorporating some wonderful details using Tim's products and techniques to create the most amazing projects. Visiting your blog posts was a real delight for us and it really has been hard to choose our favourites.

So on to the Vintage Christmas Challenge Winner and Pinworthies. First of all here is our randomly chosen winner, who will receive the prize voucher from our sponsor, Country View Crafts.

  Congratulations Sara!
Such a beautiful Vintage make with those stunning colours and that Santa is one of my favourite of Tim's Christmas Stamp Sets. Gorgeous poinsettias too. We hope you will be Guest Creative Guide with us here in the future and your voucher and winner's badge will be with you very soon.
