Firstly I would like to say:
HAPPY NEW YEAR
to everyone.
We hope you have a good, happy, healthy and crafty 2018.
Before we get onto details about the challenge I have some news to share.
GOODBYE
Unfortunately Gloria has had to leave the Design Team. We thank her so very much for all of her beautiful creations and friendship and hope 2018 is a better year for her and her family.
WELCOME
We are though delighted to welcome to the Blog Design Team Bonnie who has regularly entered the Monthly Blog Challenge and the Facebook Monthly Challenge. We shall look forward to seeing Bonnie's beautiful creations over the coming months.
Thank you to all those crafters that entered last months' challenge.
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 2 digital images from the Etsy Store is:
No 7 and that card has been created by MEL C. This is the card that Mel made:
Congratulations Mel. Please pop on over to the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamp Etsy Store and e-mail me with your choice of 2 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 December 2017 is No 4:
Congratulations.

Please remember when linking to this challenge you MUST link to your blog post and not just your actual blog.
As you have taken the time to create something to enter into the challenge the Design Team members like to leave you comments but this is made more difficult when they have to look through your blog to find the right card/creation to comment on.
Thank you for your understanding.
