CHNC challenge extra for December mid-month inspiration


Now that we are half way through December, there isn't much more time to make Christmas creations, but, perhaps like me, you still have some cards to make (despite making them throughout the year). It's time for some mid-month inspiration from the team. We would love you to join in our December challenge here.

CHNC challenge extra for December 2015


Christmas celebrations will be over by the time this challenge has ended - that doesn't seem possible, does it? I expect many crafters have still got creations that need to be made and I hope you will link and share them with us here. Or perhaps you made some creations earlier on, but didn't get round to showing them.

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas

DT call
Our current DT signed up for six months till December 2015, but I'm pleased to say that most will be staying on for the next six months from January through to June 2016. At least one will sadly be leaving, so I will be looking for at least one crafter to join us on the Design Team for January to June 2016. If you would like to be considered, please put DT after your name when you link your design - you only need to do this once, please. This will be a commitment to make at least one Christmas design each month using a Bugaboo Stamps image, with the option of supplying any festive design for mid-month. Another important part of the commitment is to be able to comment on an allocated number of entries - as regulars will know, we do have a lot of entries, so, please, only apply if you are willing and able to make the commitment to comment.

The DT call will be closed by 10 December to enable those chosen to be prepared to be ready with their designs for the January challenge. Don't forget, just add DT after your name for your linky entry if you wish to be considered.

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

This challenge will last for the whole month of December 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
