Week #43 - 'Welcome to 2011' WINNERS!

A big shabby thank you to everyone for being so supportive of our shabby little challenge blog!!! We received 89 SENSATIONAL cards and projects for our 'Welcome to 2011' challenge this week!! It's so good to see everyone back on track after the hectic holidays and finding time once again to play in the Tea Room :)   We also would like to recognize and thank our 862 FABULOUS FOLLOWERS for peeking and joining in on the weekly challenges! We {heart} you all in the Tea Room so very much!!!
Please join me in thanking Kristin Bueter, Audrey Pettit, Pam Imholz and Tangii Crain for joining us in the Tea Room last week as our Special Guest Designers!

Thank you to Cosmo Cricket for sponsoring the Tea Room challenge last week by providing a 6 x 6 pack of patterned papers to our Winner!

Some of you are having a couple challenges using our new linking system, and in particular, not including your name in the #2 spot so we know who you are.  I found these linking instructions on the Mr. Linky site and thought I'd share them here with you all for your convenience in posting your project for next week's challenge -- we want to be sure to give the proper credit to the right people for all the wonderful work shared here in the Tea Room each week ...
