I TOTALLY apologise about not announcing winners for so long.... I really need to get a system worked out so that I can get them up earlier and more efficiently!
We have such FABULOUS prizes to give.... so with no waiting any longer....
THANKS to everyone that entered, but unfortunately there can only be FOUR winners for Feb....
Congratulations to Anita...
you have won... this fab kit from Scrapbook Savvy!!!
Congratulations Chantelle...
you have won a voucher to use at... Scrap Therapy!
Congratulations Jasmine.... you have won a voucher to use at...
Congrats Peg Hewitt!!! You have won a voucher to use at....
As always I love EACH AND EVERY layout/creation you have all created... its always such a tough decision, and that is why its taken so long in choosing - because I need others opinions too - so THANKS so much to the Creative Team for helping choose who should win!
I'm hoping to see a LOT more entries than what we have so far this month, coz we really do have some fantastic prizes up for grabs!!!
Love Charmane
























Gotta love the challenges you set and the DT examples are great, but it is discouraging when there are never any comments left from you or the DT. Maybe this is why the entries are dwindling away, since there are new challenges popping up each month who ALWAYS comment on our efforts

Hi Felicity... I'm sorry you feel that way, unfortunately I and I know a lot of the Creative Team and extremely FULL lives and as much as I know we would all love to have time to comment on each and every layout its just impossible to do it! When I first started this my life wasnt so busy, but I am finding it harder and harder to keep 123 going sadly! Good on the challenge sites that DO comment on each and every layout, I envy that extra time they have!

Hi Felicity, I was trying very hard to leave comments last month but was constantly frustrated by the "comment verification" on Blogger. Sometimes I tried 4 or more times to leave comments and in the end, yes, I gave up! I understand your frustration and disappointment that I don't give you feedback, but I did look at each entry last month, and they were all fabulous.
In defense of Charmane, she works very hard on this. It's her baby when there were no other challenge sites around.
As for the CT, you'll notice we have broad interests other than scrapbooking, and sometimes our schedules don't allow us to get to everyone - we have small creative businesses that run workshops and online classes and attend weekend markets, and design for international scrapbooking-related manufacturers.
I know it's no excuse, but it's gotta count for something!
I hope you will all stick around!!!

I got it ladies, we are all extemely busy!
Most scrappers are working mums with a lot going on, I understand - I was not suggesting you should all comment on every entry submitted, I was merely commenting as to why there may only be two entries so far this month.
At no stage have I doubted Charmane or any of the CTs dedication to the challenge, in fact my first sentence said as much. And yes, we are all aware of just how talented the CT is, this is probably the reason we feel so inspired each month.
I was just making a comment in the comments box
I always thought this was what it was for) but clearly I have offended everyone so I will zip my lips and go quietly about finishing my March 123 challenge and will keep it to myself.

Just for good measure I have added an apology to you all on my blog, and included a link to your challenge, highly recommending it for the creativity of the CT and supporting sponsors :)
