CHNC challenge extra for September 2016

Please click here to see the winner of CHNC challenge extra for August.

It's worth looking because it might be you!

This challenge will last for the whole month of September 2016 - 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!

I know that many of my followers have been making festive cards throughout the year and will be thankful for doing so when it gets nearer to Christmas - and it's unbelievable that September is upon us so quickly ... not long to go really! If you haven't yet started, now is a good time and we hope you will join in with the challenge - you can enter as many times as you wish with anything ... as long as it's Christmas.

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. 

Here are the delightful designs of the team

You may add any Christmas creation for this challenge - it's 'anything goes' every month, as long as it's Christmas

There really aren't any rules as such - just have a look at what I've written on the right hand sidebar and join in! You may link as many entries as you like as long as they weren't blogged before 1 September 2016.

Weekly challenges continue on my CHNC challenge blog - these usually have a theme - but anything that you enter there can be entered here as well, so you increase your chance of winning a prize.

And, of course, you can chat about this monthly challenge extra blog on the CHNC facebook page as well - if you haven't joined that yet, please follow the link and 'like' the page.

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 URLwhere your creation can be found) by 20:00 UK time 30 September. Please mention my blog and create a link within the post for your creation. The winner will be announced at 23:00 UK time on 30 September. October's challenge will begin at midnight UK time on 1 October 2016.

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.

If you haven't done so already, please become a follower and grab my bright pink button to post on your sidebar and help continue to spread the word about this challenge blog - thank you.

I also run a challenge blog called Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - anything goes as long as you use some patterned paper - a randomly chosen prize winner every month. Please click on the link to find out more. If you have used patterned paper for your Christmas creation, why not enter it there too. And please be aware that the Patterned Paper Challenge is not restricted to Christmas - it is for any occasions as long as some patterned paper has been used.

Thank you for your support

I look forward to seeing your entries

When people hurt you over and over....Think of them like sand paper....

When people hurt you over and over

Think of them like sand paper

They may scratch and hurt you a bit

but in the end you end up polished 

and they end up useless.

There's a time in your life .....Doing anything in life you can do it....

There's a time in your life 

where you're not quite sure 

where you are. 

You think everything's perfect, 

but it's not perfect... 

Then one day you wake up and 

you can't quite picture yourself 

in the situation you're in

But the secret is if you can picture yourself 

doing anything in life you can do it....

What is more painful? 

When a person 

whom you trust 

hurts you? 

or 

When a person

still trust you?

Rare as is true love,,,,,True friendship is rarer....

Friendship... is not something 

that you learn in school. 

True friendship multiplies the good in life 

and divides its evils. 

Strive to have friends, 

for life without friends is 

like life on a desert island... 

Rare as is true love,

True friendship is rarer.

to find one real friend in a lifetime 

is good fortune

to keep him is a blessing.

But if you haven't learned 

the meaning of friendship,

you really haven't learned anything.

 true friendship is rarer.

Top urdu quotes and two lines poetry

Kisi nay dhool kya ankhon main jhonki!

Main ab pehlay se behtar dekhta hoon

Insaan bhi kya ajeeb makhluq hay,

Jeeta aisa ha jaise kabhi mare ga nahi,

Aur marta aise ha jaise kabhi jiya hi nahi..

Maan lijye chehre pe dhool hai.

Ilzaam aayinay pe lgana fazool ha

Pareshani haalat se nahi khayalaat se paida hoti hai

Mehngay kapray sastay loag

Bhaar main jayen aisay loag

Be with someone who brings out the best in you not the stress in you.

Ye kis muqaam pe sujhi tujhay bicharnay ki

K ab to ja k kahin din sanwarnay wale thy

Ye jo meri lehad pe rotay hain naw!

Abhi uth jaon to jeenay na dain

Jamhooriyat ka kamal ye hay k wo voot ki taqat k zariye bhairon ko bhairiiya chun'ne ki azadi deti hai.

Thora momin hoon, thora munafiq hoon

Main bhi mahol k mutabiq hoon

Kehnay walon ka kya jaata hai

Sehnay walay kamal kartay hain

Aap seekhna chahen to aapki har ghalti apko sabaq deti hay.

Har insan apna bohat kuch badal sakta hay
Hatake shakal bhi tabdeel kar skta hay
Lekin wo fitrat nahi badal sakta.

Insan ne mehsoos karna isliye chor dia hay, kyunke usay un cheezon se mohabbat ho gai ha jin main ehsaas nahi hay.

Aarzi jazbaat par mustaqil faislay nahi karnay chahiye.

Jab duaon aur koshishon se bhi baat na banay tou faisla Allah par chor do, Allah apnay bandon k baray main behtar faisla karnay walaa hai.

Zabat itna hay k honton ko hi see rakha hay

Tishnagi wo k samundar ko bhi pee sakty hain

Meri mohabbatain bhi ajeeb thin, mera faiz bhi tha kamal par

Kabhi sab kuch mila bina matlab, kabhi kuch na mila sawal par

Nazrain sub bata deti hain

Hasratain bhi, nafratain bhi..

Khaak ko khaak kha gai khaak aur takabur wahin ka wahin reh gya.

Ao kainaat baant lain

Tum meri baqi sab tumhara

Pyar humko bhi ha

Pyar tumko bhi ha

To yeh kya silsilay ho gye

Bewafa hum nahi

Bewafa tum nahi

To kyun itne gilay hogaye!

Life is like riding a bicycle, in order to keep your balance you must keep moving.
