SIR STAMPALOT JANUARY BLOG HOP

Hi today is not only the launch of our new challenge but also a Blog Hop.

Our challenge theme for January which will run for the the whole month as usual is:

A Winters Tale

We would like you to take inspiration from Queens 1995 hit song title or if you prefer Shakespeare's slant on things, as always how you interpret it is completely your choice. All we ask is that you have fun and of course remember the rules and that you can combine your entry with up to five other challenges.

This months lucky winner will receive a super prize from the lovely guys at Sir Stampalot:


Now for the Blog Hop, this is going to be such fun and so many prizes to be won. It starts today and will finish at midnight BST on 10th January, the winner will be announced on 12th January.

For those of you who have never joined in a Hop before this is what you need to do:


1) Start from the Challenge Blog and leave a comment on the post.

2) Visit all DT blogs and Smudges - nine in total 

3) Leave a comment on each blog.

4) Collect a letter clue from each

5) Use those letters along with the ones already given in the grid below to make two words and mail your answer to mailto:brenda@ibas.co.uk
(Please do not post the answer on any of the blogs)

_ _ R _ _ A _ _ A _ _ _


Your starting point is Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog and each blog you visit will tell you where you should have arrived from and where you need to go next, but if you get lost you can go back to Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog and start afresh...........have fun.........
Ok you should have come to me from Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog
your next stop will be CLARE
Here is my DT card showing my interpretation of this months challenge theme
For my card I have used an Elusive Images dp the image is a fir tree stamp which I bought a few years ago, I stamped it several times with Momento London Fog ink, I then used the circle scalloped Nestie to make a frame which I embossed with the snow effect folder, I added some blue gems and silver holographic punched butterflies.
I hope you have enjoyed viewing my card and my letter that you need to collect is
T

Your next stop is CLARE 
As well as a terrific prize for guessing the correct word in the above grid, each DT member also has a prize to give away to one lucky person chosen at random who leaves a comment.
I will be using the random widget to choose a name from the comments left on my blog and that lucky person will win this prize 
There are so many wonderful prizes up for grabs and you have until the 10th January to collect all the letters and work out the word in the grid.
Please scroll down for my other postings
Hugs to all
