#170 Christmas For Your Love

Happy Holidays from the Aud Sentiment's DT!

We are so truly blessed that you chose to join us in our challenges this year and 

 shared your joy of crafting with us.

This challenge will be our last challenge of 2016.  

It's hard to believe another year has gone by.  

The theme for this challenge is... 

Christmas for Your Love + A Sentiment

You can interpret that however you want. Maybe you will make a project for your spouse, best friend, child, grandchild...it's up to you.  

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is The Paper Shelter

They graciously gave the DT a couple of images to use for our projects.  We had fun creating with them and hope you like them

Željka   from Creative World

Now it's your turn!  We can't wait to see what you create!

Challenge Rules:

1.  As you might guess from our name - we require a SENTIMENT that is appropriate for the theme/challenge.  If you make a card and put the sentiment on the inside instead of the front, you need to include a picture on your blog post that shows us the sentiment. 

2. Please mention Aud Sentiments and create a link to us.  When you enter your link at Inlinkz, it needs to go directly to your project, not just to your blog's home page.

3. You may enter up to 5 times, but all entries need to be new & posted after the start of our challenge.  

HAVE FUN!
