CHALLENGE #89 - IN THE DEEP MIDWINTER

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hello Portal Peeps.  It's time for our new Challenge.  December is a busy month for most of us and we will be having just one challenge this month, so the team can relax a bit and that also gives you a bit more time to play along.  We will be announcing the November winners on the 5th of the month, so do pop back and see who wowed the team and gets our snazzy blog badge and the coveted Lost Coast dollars.

So here's our new Challenge!

CHALLENGE #89

IN THE DEEP MIDWINTER

Share any type of stamped make with a wintery theme.
Please use real rubber and/or clear stamping and the theme as the focus of your project.
A little stamped sentiment is not sufficient to qualify you for the prize and your entry may be deleted.

Please remember we do have some Challenge Rules to follow so look them over to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize!

You are welcome to play in our Challenges using rubber stamp images from any company but if you use any of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps...we love it when you do...then your entry counts as two which doubles your chances of winning in our random prize drawing.
