CHNC challenge extra for April 2016


Please click here to see the winner of CHNC challenge extra for March.

It's worth looking because it might be you!

This challenge will last for the whole month of April 2016 - 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!

We had so many lovely entries for our March challenge. I'm so glad that so many of you are keeping your Christmas stash out with the intention of making Christmas creations throughout the year.

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

We are very sorry to say goodbye to Renate. We were hoping that she would be back to stay on the DT, but she is still having to devote time to her studies and we wish her well.

Here are the delighful designs of the team.
All digital stamps used were kindly supplied by our sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps:
