...and the last challenge winner is....

Hi everyone,
Apologies; I've got so much going now as the closure of the LLC store is just around the corner that I hadn't gotten around to drawing a winner from the last LLC challenge, but here we go;
As the saying goes; the third time is a charm!!! :-)
(This was the 3rd entry submitted by our randomly picked winner)

Congratulations Beth please contact me, Sandy, to claim your prize.

At this point I'd like to thank everyone who took part in the last LLC challenge, and of course also to all challenge participants over the years. It's been great fun; I hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I and the LLC DT have. 

It's not Good Bye just yet; will be back with the last Challenge Top Picks in a couple of week's time...
 
Until then,
Sandy xxx

Challenge #54 LLC Smörgåsbord

Hi Folks,
Sorry to keep you waiting for the LLC challenge; December is such a busy month isn't it?! Enough stress and "to-do's", as it is, so that's why I decided to give the DT (and myself!) a few extra days to complete this month's challenge project.

Not only is it the last challenge of 2016; as I am closing the store,  this will also be the last LLC challenge. The store will still remain open for some time to come though and there's still plenty of stock left. If you haven't checked out the CLOSING DOWN SALE yet, where EVERYTHING is ON SALE, you really should stop by and check out the bargains!!!

Many thanks to those who entered last month's challenge, White Christmas; the randomly drawn winner is...
 
Congratulations Marie/ Primia.
Please drop me, Sandy, a e-mail to claim your prize.

Now; finally what you've been waiting for; the theme for our last challenge is
...

 LLC Smörgåsbord
???

You're probably thinking "what on Earth is she on about", so let me explain. :-)
For those of you not familiar with the word this is how Wikipedia defines it:
Smörgåsbord (Swedish: [ˈsmœ̞rɡɔs'buːɖ) is a type of Scandinavian meal, originating in Sweden, served buffet-style with multiple hot and cold dishes of various foods on a table.

Most of you will probably know I'm Swedish, so this felt very apt. :-D
For the last challenge I wanted an "open" theme so that as many crafters as possible can take part, and surely we could have gone with "Anything goes", but personally I feel it's a boring theme and not much of a challenge...

So instead I came up with the idea of bringing you a Smörgåsbord of *vintage* LLC challenges!
That's right; challengeS - you will have 10 different ones you can take part in!!!
The more times you enter...the more chances to win.

Still confused???
Please continue to read...it will all be explained further down.

We've had lots of great themes throughout the years...PINK every year in October to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we've done different Spring challenges and Nautic ones during the Summer. Some more unusual ones were Chocolate and Perfume, I'm sure you all have your favourites (and maybe also some you dispised, hehe). On this occasion though, I have chosen the challenges that have been unique to LLC, just like the store always has been. ;-)

A) TINA'S SKETCH (February 2013)

B) LOUISE'S BINGOBOARD (April 2013)

C) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (September 2013)

D) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (November 2013)

E) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (March 2015)

F) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (September 2015)

G) CHRISTMAS TIC-TAC-TOE (November 2015)

H) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (April 2016)

I) BECKY'S SKETCH (June 2016)

J) PHOTO INSPIRATION COLLAGE (September 2016)

Nice trip down memory line, huh?!
