Extra! Extra! Read all about it ...


... today sees the launch of my CHNC challenge extra for January - a new blog that is a spin off of my CHNC challenge blog that has now been running for two years. Weekly challenges will continue on CHNC and will usually have a specific theme to follow, whereas monthly challenges on my CHNC challenge extra blog will always be 'anything goes'. So please don't pack away your Christmas stash - keep it available and start making cards for next Christmas. Those of you that did this last year will understand how beneficial this is and those of you who didn't ... perhaps you need to consider that it would make sense to make Christmas cards throughout the year to ease any panic towards November and December. I hope to see you there!

This is the card I've made for CHNC challenge extra for January, using Bugaboo 'AKV Santa' and 'stocking mouse' coloured with copics - all of my CHNC challenge extras are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. I have a Guest Designer joining me for the January challenge, so please go over and visit her too.

All papers were from my Christmas offcuts box (one of my crafty resolutions last year was to use up offcuts - I've been trying to do that all year, so how come I seem to still have as many in my boxes?

Stitched ribbon and strips of gems from stash, as well as sentiment banner.
