August 2019 - Winner's Post

 Thank you to all those crafters that entered last month's challenge.

To enter this challenge you need to use a rubber stamp or digital stamp (black-and-white/grayscale or partially pre-coloured). 

Just coloured in images are NOT allowed.

NO fully digital cards are allowed.

 As mentioned anyone that entered that used an image from the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store would get a second entry into the draw. 

The winner of 3 digital images from the Etsy Store is:

No 9 and that card was created by Mimi:

Congratulations Mimi.

Please pop on over to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store and e-mail me with your choice of 3 images.  Make sure you take your Monthly Challenge Winner badge from the sidebar to add to your blog.  

Please note: when selecting digital stamps for a prize, stamp sets do not count as one digital stamp. You may choose individual digital stamps from a stamp set but you must clarify carefully what image you would like.

  Every month there is an "Artist's Choice Award".  The winner of this award will be picked by Ching-Chou Kuik herself.  To be in with a chance of winning this award you need to use one of Ching-Chou Kuik's Digital Stamps from her Etsy Store for your card/creation.  At the end of the month Ching-Chou Kuik will look at all those cards/creations using one of her digital stamps from the Etsy Store and pick one winner that will get the "Artist's Choice Award" and will also get to pick 5 digital stamps of their choice from the Etsy Store.

Ching-Chou Kuik certainly had a lot of beautiful cards/creations to choose from but the winner of the "Artist's Choice Award" for August 2019 is:

No 7 by Mel C.

Congratulations Mel.  Please pop on over to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store and e-mail me with your choice of 5 images.  Make sure you take your Monthly Challenge Winner badge from the sidebar to add to your blog.

  Unfortunately the role of being a Guest Designer does not seem to attract may people these days so sadly September will see the last Guest Designer for the Blog Challenge.

The name of the last Guest Designer is Geesje.  

I will be in touch shortly with details of the challenge so you can pick your image from the Etsy Store to use.

A general piece of housekeeping:

There is just a slight change to the rules for entering this challenge from September onwards.

To be eligible for the Artist Choice Award you have always had to use an image from the Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy Store but from September 2019 you MUST do a link in your post to the image that you have actually used from the Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy Store.

It is only a simple change but it will make a lot of difference to me.

That's all for today.  

Make sure you pop back on Sunday as it will be the first of the month and therefore the start of a new challenge.
