It's worth checking because it might be you!
This challenge will last for the whole month of June- anything goes as long as it's Christmas - it doesn't have to be a card, you can link any project as long as it's Christmas!
Thank you for the marvellous support and inspiration shared here month by month - I much appreciate all your entries. It's good to see crafters returning again and again with their designs and also lovely to welcome new folk coming on board.
Once again this year, all of these monthly challenges are being generously sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps - a winner will be randomly chosen using random.
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.
The present Design Team were originally asked to commit to the six months from January to June. They were all asked if they would like to remain for another six months. Sadly, for personal reasons Deanne is not able to take on a further six months. We will miss her and her delightful crafting, but I'm sure we will still see her around in blogland. I'm happy to say that the rest of the Design Team have agreed to stay on until the end of the year.
Once again this month the team have made gorgeous creations - please click on the links to their blogs to read more about their projects. All images used were kindly supplied by Bugaboo Stamps.

'I live in Hertfordshire in the U.K.
I am 62 years old. Don�t tell hubby he still thinks I am in my Thirty�s Lol!!!
I have been married to the love of my life for 29 years.
I have a Step � Daughter that lives in France with her husband.
I had to retire from work early through ill health. It is my Blogging and Crafting that keeps me going some days.
I love my crafting and if I have too miss a day in the craft room I get the grumps!!!
I love using my Stamps but have found that Digi Images are so more flexible as you can use them for any size card or project.
I love sitting and colouring but I need more practice at blending and shading.
I also adore all the different dies there are on the market to use, they really bring the image that you are using to life.'
Here is the lovely inspiration from the Design Team
