{NOVEMBER WINNERS}


We've got winners and top picks of all of last month's challenges, as well as winners of our 3rd Annual Giving Blog Hop & Linky Party and ARTplorations Stencil Hop Featuring Sanna Lippert Designs Stencils. Thank you to all of you who played in our challenges last month!

An important note about our winners post: winners (challenges and blog hops) of the previous month are announced in one post (this one). All winners must claim their prizes by the deadline. If you are a regular player in our challenges or participant in our blog hops and special events, please consider following our blog, even signing up to receive email notifications when new posts are published. You'll find those links on the right side bar. 

Winners, please claim your prize on or before Sunday, December 31. Prizes not claimed by then will be forfeited -- no exceptions. Please understand that because we have a lot of winners and give away over $200 worth of prizes in the form of products and gift certificates each month, it would take a lot of time to contact the winners individually. I also want to be fair to those who regularly visit our blog and claim their prizes within the time frame given.

When claiming your prize, send an email to sheryruss@gmail.com. Please follow this format in the subject line:
"STAMPlorations November (Winner, Top Pick, Random Draw) - specific challenge here"
e.g., "STAMPlorations November Winner - Theme & Sketch Challenge"

If you are the winner of a tangible/mailable prize, do include your complete mailing address in the email you send, even if I already have mailed to you before. (It saves me time having to look up your address.)

That's it for this post. Congratulations to all the winners! 

To all winners: If you claim your prize after December 20, please wait up to 10 days for me to get back to you. It's because I am scheduled to give birth to STAMPbaby #2 by C-section on December 20 and it will be a little crazy in the Russ household during the Christmas break as I recover and we adjust to having a new addition to our little family :o). If you don't hear back from me after 10 days, please re-send your email.

Please do check out our current events and store promotions: 


I hope you all have a wonderful week, and happy crafting!

Spammers have been in full force lately so I had to turn comment moderation on. We love hearing from fellow crafters (not spammers), so your comment will be approved as soon as possible. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us :o)
