CHNC challenge 59: feature an angel or a fairy

It's time for another CHNC challenge - don't the weeks go by quickly?! But first I must congratulate everyone on the beautiful entries for last week's challenge - I so enjoy visiting your blogs and seeing your wonderful creations. Thank you to everyone who supports and enters into the challenges - and you will be streets ahead of others with building up your stock of Christmas cards.


Before I get on to today's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 58. Unfortunately, there could only be one winner and this is the result of using random.org:

Number 26: Helen

who shared this beautiful card:

Congratulations, Helen! Please email me at hazelharris@ntlworld.com  so I can arrange for you to claim your three packs of die cuts from Crimson Cloud.

I also need to let you know that the winner for challenge 56 was unable to accept the digital prize because of printer issues (I've sent her something else to compensate), so I am re-drawing the prize and this is the result of using random.org:

Number 11: Debbie Johns
who shared this lovely card:

Congratulations, Debbie! Please email me at hazelharris@ntlworld.com so I can arrange for you to claim your 10$ gift certificate from Digi Doodle Shop.

Now we move on to today's challenge:

For today's challenge I'm asking you to feature an angel or fairy on your Christmas card.

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps:

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, you can find Bugaboo Stamps  at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Two of the Bugaboo Stamps team have kindly made cards for this challenge:

Thank you both for your beautiful creations - please pop along to their blogs and leave them a comment.


I made two cards for this challenge - the first one uses a lovely digi supplied by Bugaboo Stamps called 'angel big star' - you can read about it here on my regular crafting blog, My Crafty Outlook, and see the other challenges that I entered - I actually showed this card yesterday because I wanted to acknowledge the sketch I used and the challenge for it was closing before my own CHNC challenge 59 was being posted:

My second card, uses the Angel word Bugaboo stamp - you can read more about this card here:

Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques, as long as the end result is a Christmas card - and this week please feature an angel or a fairy.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge - please add a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your card can be found) by 22:00 UK time Friday17 February. Please mention my blog and create a link within the post for your creation.

You can enter as many times as you wish (a good way to build up your stock of Christmas cards) and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.

A new challenge will be set on 18 February.

Please add your link to inlinkz. If by any chance it disappears, please leave a comment with the link to your blog post and I will make sure it is added.

If you haven't done so already, please become a follower and grab my bright pink button to post on your sidebar and help continue to spread the word about this challenge blog - thank you.
