Merry Christmas!!!!

The Crafts Galore Encore Design Team would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! We hope this festive season finds you, happy, healthy and crafty!

Before moving on to our last challenge for 2016 we have some good news/bad news for you all. To start with, the bad news, Donna Ellis has had to stand down from the CGE DT as she has exciting (and time consuming) new opportunities opening up for her. We all wish her well, thank her for her fabulous creations and hope to see her around in blogland.

So on to the good news, the fabulicious Lynda Hall has joined our DT and we are absolutely delighted to have her on board. Check out her blog HERE to see her wonderful creations.

So on to this month's "Anything Goes", Challenge.

We are sponsored by Sherri Baldi and the prize for the winner is the 3 digi stamps used by the DT.

As you can see there are three quite different styles for you to play with!

Looking forward to seeing all your creations,

Happy Christmas and Happy Crafting,

Denyse, Isobel and the CGE DT

November Challenge with Nikki Burnett, "Anything Goes".

The clocks have been turned back so I guess winter is definitely on it's way and to mark the start of November we have a new "Anything Goes", challenge here at Crafts Galore Encore. Our lovely sponsor is Nikki Burnett and she is offering a prize of 3 digi stamps to our lucky winner who will be drawn randomly from all qualifying entries.

We are sorry to be saying goodbye to Emma this month and thank her for all her hard work and beautiful creations.
We are look forward to announcing a new member of the CGE DT at the start of our December Challenge.
Don't forget, "Anything Goes", means you can enter anything that you have created (except for offspring as they tend to be a joint venture!)

Happy Crafting,

Denyse, Isobel and the CGE DT
