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.
