CHNC challenge extra for August 2017


As it's the 1st of the month, it's time for CHNC challenge extra for August 2017. Please click on the link to find out all about it, see the lovely designs of my DT ... and I hope you will get out your Christmas stash and join in the challenge - we are now beginning August, so it makes sense to get on with Christmas designs now before it becomes a panic.

Bugaboo Stamps always generously sponsor my CHNC challenge extra and provide images for the team to use and showcase. The image I've used is Christmas jar, which is the pre-coloured version. Papers are from my offcuts box, using the old trick on top and bottom from one piece with another across it because the original piece wasn't big enough to cover the card blank. Glittered poinsettias from Hobbycraft, Santa from The Works, candy canes from stash.

This was a commissioned card, using papers from

I was asked to make it black and white with pin houses - the glittered pink houses were from a Christmas kit from long ago with other bits and pieces from stash.

CHNC challenge 344

This is my card for my CHNC challenge 344 - please click on the link to see what it's all about and I hope you will join in with the challenge - it makes sense to get on with Christmas creations while there is plenty of time to enjoy doing so without any panic ... although time is rushing by because by the end of this challenge we will be into August!

The optional theme for CHNC challenge 344 is 'gingerbread'... but anything  goes as long as it's Christmas.

For my card I used papers from Cosy Christmas collection, a piece of gingerbread grosgrain ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, a Belle & Boo stitched label, and a pack of 4 felt gingerbread embellishments, all of which can be won as the prize for the randomly chosen winner of CHNC challenge 344.
