Winner of CHNC challenge extra for July 2017


Thank you so much for all your lovely festive entries during July - so many wonderful entries - lovely to know that there are crafters out there getting ahead their Christmas designs while there is plenty of time to do so - although it seems scary to think that we are already now into August! I hope you will be able to join in our August challenge.

Unfortunately, there could only be one winner of the July challenge and this is the result of using random.org:

CHNC challenge extra for July 2017


It's always a delight to see the wonderful festive creations that are entered for our challenges and June was no exception. It's great that there are crafters thinking ahead and getting some Christmas designs made while there isn't as much pressure of time - although it's quite scary to think that half of the year have gone by already! I hope that you will be able to get that Christmas stash out and enter this month's challenge ... it can be any creation as long as it's for Christmas and you can enter as many times as you wish.

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

This challenge will last for the whole month of July 2017 - 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 four 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

Here are the delightful designs of the team:

All digital stamps used were kindly supplied by our sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps:

I am delighted that all of these lovely ladies have agreed to stay with the DT for the next six months, July - December 2017. I am so thankful to have such a super talented team.
