~SMC #28....SANTA'S ON THE WAY...CHRISTMAS THEMED CHALLENGE~

Welcome to Sew Many Challenges!! This week's challenge is...."Santa's on the Way!! Christmas Themed Challenge"!! Believe it or not, Christmas is right around the corner and with the way this year is flying by, it'll be next door before ya know it! So let's get a jumpstart on those Christmas cards, gifts or projects! There are some amazing images at the Sew Many Cards store, so head on over if you need some images for your challenges this week!!

We've got a brand new sponsor this week and we're so excited they're joining us!! I'm sure a lot of you have heard about or visited CropChocolate.com!! What?? You haven't!! Then check out all their information below in the Sponsor Spotlight area! They're giving $25 Crop Credits to the lucky winner this week!!!

CropChocolate.com – Sweet Deals for the Scrapbooking Addict!

At CropChocolate.com™, we sell all-things scrapbook. But here's the catch, we only sell one item at a time – at a delicious price. Every day several items will be posted – so act fast – a limited quantity will be sold at deeply discounted prices. No time to let it temper.

Chocolate à la Carte

Chocolate à la Carte or “la Carte” is a 45 day shopping cart, once an item is added you have 45 total days until it expires out of your la carte. Just add all your goodies in “la Carte” and pay shipping only once! Free shipping with cartes over $60 in the USA, over $100 in Canada, and over $300 international. 

The Chocolatiers

CropChocolate.com was founded by a marketing group with immeasurable experience in one-deal-at-a-time online marketing. No matter what you use – a cup, a gallon, a vat or a tank – you can't contain their experience of successfully taking sites in targeted industries from nuts to soup... in this case molten chocolate. CropChocolate.com is the first scrapbook site to migrate from a one-deal-a-day to a one-deal-at-a-time and they did it in less than 60 days.
We are continually looking for sugary brands and delicious deals where everybody wins – the manufacturer, the consumer and CropChocolate.com. Please contact us at sales@cropchocolate.com if you want to participate in the CropChocolate.com sweetness.

Sweet Shopping!

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Stamps and she's giving 5 digital images from the Stitchy Bear Stamps Store to the winner!! How awesome is that! Read more about Stitch and her awesome images below in our Sponsor Spotlight!

It's always a pleasure to have Stitchy Bear Stamps as a sponsor. Her images are adorable and she's such a delight to work with and purchase from. Stitch is always generous enough to let our sponsor team pick out an image to work with, so be sure to take a look at our Sponsor Slideshow above for the great projects that were made using Stitchy Bear images! Now lets meet Stitch

Hi Everyone, my name is Stitchy and I create under the name Stitchy Stamps...I have been creating digital images for designers for almost a year now and try to learn something new everyday...I started out in paint shop pro about 8 years ago and started making digital scrap kits...then I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafts and card designing...like I said, learning new everyday, the rest is history...I can't draw enough to keep me satisfied anymore lol...

Living in a small town in upstate New York, tucked away where cable doesn't even go...friends are far and few between...But being on the internet for the past 10 years, I have gathered quite a few from around the world...Just like I learn something new everyday, I also try to meet someone new every day too...

Thank you Angela and Company for allowing me to sponsor for you...I am truly honored...
