This challenge will last for the whole month of March 2015 - anything goes as long as it's Christmas - it doesn't have to be a card, you can link any project as long as it's Christmas!

Thank you for your wonderful entries for February's challenge - we hope you will be able to join us this month. Can you believe that two months of the year have already gone? Remember, it's never too early to start on those Christmas cards - you'll be thankful later in the year.

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.

Sadly, Margaret is not able to craft at the moment due to ill health - we feel for her and hope that she will be strengthened in the days  to come. We miss her contribution and hope that she will be able to craft again soon as we know that she doesn't want to give this up.
