This challenge will last for the whole month of October - anything goes as long as it's Christmas.

What a bumper lot of entries there were for September - I'm looking forward to seeing all your festive loveliness this month - if you haven't yet started to make your Christmas cards, now is the time! I can hardly believe that it's October already and by the time this challenge is ended we'll be really getting towards Christmas.

All of these monthly challenges are being generously sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps - a winner will be randomly chosen using random.

Bugaboo Stamps are proud to sponsor this challenge - they are offering $21 of digital stamps to the randomly selected winner.

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Every month I will be joined by a Guest Designer and for October I am pleased to welcome JoAnn.

JoAnn writes:

'Hi my name is JoAnn and I am so excited Hazel asked me to be her guest designer for October. I love making Christmas cards all year long. I have been doing crafts of some sort for most of my life, hence the title of my blog, "Crafty Nana's Blog". I started scrapbooking and cardmaking in 1998 and it is definitely addictive. I enjoy making cards for family and friends, and also send some to Operation Write Home for our troops overseas. We live in Central Florida about 60 miles from the west coast. My husband and I are both original Floridians and moved back here after he retired from the military. We are both retired now and I enjoy my crafts and spending time with the grandchildren.'

So this is JoAnn's first card using the 'Ava Christmas mistletoe fairy' image kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps - you can read more about it here on her blog:

And here is JoAnn's second card using 'Deacon Christmas elf presents' image:

Thank you, JoAnn, for being my guest for this month. Please go over to JoAnn's blog and leave her some comments.

My first card features the Noel image and snowflake digital paper kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps - you can read more about it here on My Crafty Outlook:

You may add any Christmas card to this challenge

it's 'anything goes' every month

There really aren't any rules as such - just have a look at what I've written on the right hand sidebar and join in! You may link as many entries as you like as long as they weren't blogged before 1 October 2013.

Weekly challenges will continue on my CHNC challenge blog - these usually have a theme - but any card that you enter there can be entered here as well, so you increase your chance of winning a prize. 

And, of course, you can chat about this monthly challenge extra blog on the CHNC facebook page as well - if you haven't joined that yet, please follow the link and 'like' the page.

It' incredible to think that we are now into October - if you haven't started to make your Christmas cards yet, now is the time!

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge - please add a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your card can be found) by 20:00 UK time Thursday 31 October.  Please mention my blog and create a link within the post for your creation. The winner will be announced at 23:00 UK  time on 31 October.  November's challenge will begin at midnight on 1 November.

Please add your link to inlinkz. If by any chance it disappears, please leave a comment with the link to your blog post and I will make sure it is added. 

If you haven't done so already, please become a follower and grab my bright pink button to post on your sidebar and help continue to spread the word about this challenge blog - thank you.

Thank you for your support

I look forward to seeing your entries
