CHNC challenge 94: snowflakes

What a lot of delightful cards for last week's challenge - so many different ways of depicting 'carol singing' - thank you to everyone who entered.

Before I get on to today's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 93. Unfortunately, there could only be one winner and this is the result of using random.org:


Number 13: Kath
who shared this lovely card:



Congratulations, Kath! Please email me at hazelharris@ntlworld.com so I can arrange for you to claim your 10$ voucher from Di's Digi Download.

Challenge 94
For today's challenge I'm asking you to include snowflakes
on your Christmas card

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

For this challenge I'm also very pleased to welcome Kim as a Guest Designer.

'I am a self confessed 'Stampaholic' living with my family in Surrey.
I am known as the 'Granny in the Attic' and have four Grandchildren Megan(12), Reece(9) and the twins Saskia and Ciaran(5).
I work fulltime in a BP Simply Foods petrol station and then craft in my spare time.
I have written two books. The first on Teabag Folding and the second on Rubber Stamping, both for Search Press.
I have written numerous articles for magazines including Craft Stamper.
I teach classes at various locations around the country and have demonstrated at many of the major Stamp Shows.
I am on the Design Team for Sir Stampalot, Hobby Art, Imagination and Clarity Stamps and several of my cards have featured on each of their TV shows.
I recently was lucky enough to make some of the samples for the latest Woodware catalogue.
I love joining in with the challenge blogs and have joined the DT at Crafty Cardmakers and The Stampman.'


Kim has made this delightful card using blue frosty digital papers kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps as well as their 'snoman 4 square' digital stamp. You can read more about Kim's card on here blog here. Please visit and leave her a comment.


Thank you, Kim, for joining me as a Guest Designer with your beautiful card.

For my card I've used the 'snowman snowflakes' by Bugaboo Stamps - you can read more about my card on My Crafty Outlook 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 make a card that includes snowflakes - easy peasy this week!!

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 Friday 19 October.  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 20 October.

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.
