CHNC Challenge extra for September 2015

This is another month's opportunity to get on with those Christmas creations and share them here. I always think that September is about the time that most crafters wake up to the fact that they need to start on their Christmas designs if they haven't done so already. I know that many of you having been making Christmas cards, etc throughout the year and will be glad about that as we get towards December (which, I find hard to believe, isn't that far off!)

Please click here to see the winner of CHNC challenge extra for August 2015.
It's worth looking because it might be you!

This challenge will last for the whole month of September 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!

Once again this year, 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.

Sadly, Rocky has had to withdraw from the DT - we wish her well and Renate is on a break. We are missing Margaret, who has been going through a difficult time - we hope you will soon be well enough to join us again, Margaret.

We are so glad that Brenda has recovered enough to be back with us.
