Challenge 222
For today's challenge I'd like you to make a Christmas design that involves some sticking ... stick it any which way you like - anything Christmas as long as something has been stuck!
Once again this week there are four opportunities to win a prize - as usual, winners will be chosen randomly.
The first sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps:
Bugaboo Stamps are proud to sponsor this challenge:
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.
Bugaboo Stamps are offering $21 of digital stamps to the randomly chosen winner.
The third sponsor is QKR Stampede:
'Do you have a sense of humor? Are you looking for a cute stamp? Then, we are the company for you! QKR Stampede is the somewhat cute somewhat quirky rubber and digital stamp company. We showcase the artwork of Ken Herrod, who had a unique, somewhat quirky style with lots of humor and character. You are sure to get a chuckle out of our stamps! We have been offering our unique stamps and supplies to the craft industry for over 15 years. At QKR Stampede our images are available as un-mounted, natural red rubber stamps OR as digital stamps! If QKR Stampede Stamps aren't exactly what you are looking for, don’t miss out on the sister companies: Eureka Stamps, Biblical Impressions Rubber Stamps, or the newest addition; Alluring Impressions.'

For my card I used Express Yourself stickers on a piece of double sided Echo park 'very merry Christmas' paper split in the middle, with an Anna Griffin sentiment. You can read more about the card here on My Crafty Outlook:
And this is a card that I made for this week's Completely Christmas 56 - as I've used Bugaboo Stamps 'little penguin winter - winter bench and Bugaboo are one of our sponsors this week, I thought I would show it here too. You can read more about it on My Crafty Outlook here. (If your card for my challenge doesn't have a sentiment on it we would love to see it too at Completely Christmas 56):
Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques - and this week please 'stick it any which way you like' - I thought it would be good to involve some sticking as one of our sponsors is Stix2 ... anything goes as long as it involves sticking something ... easy peasy!
