Monthly Blog Challenge - IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

As mentioned on the post on 1 October 2016 we are super excited over at the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog as it is our 2nd anniversary.  Where has that time gone?

The topic for this month is "Halloween/something spooky".

For anyone that enters into the Blog Challenge or the Facebook Challenge this month they will be sent a free image called "Spring Witch".

Normally with InLinkz I could send the image out to everyone as I would have their e-mail address along with their URL of their post.  

Unfortunately we've had to change to Mister Linky for blog entries to the challenges and nowhere can I find details of everyone's e-mail addresses.  

I have tried looking into some blogs but can't find anyway to contact crafters.

For this reason I am asking ALL crafters that have entered the Blog Challenge to E-MAIL ME and I will arrange for the "Spring Witch" to be sent ASAP.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Vannessa's Challenge Card - Saturday 8th October 2016

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from Ching-Chou Kuik. This month our challenge is Hallowe'en or something spooky.  I love Hallowe'en, but it's just a shame that it's not really celebrated that much here in the UK. It's getting bigger, but nowhere near as big as it is in the USA!

Anyway here is my card for this month's challenge using the fabulous Pick A Pumpkin. I used some of my last few bits of patterned papers that I got from Kraftin' Kimmie last month and added a cute pumpkin charm too.

She has been coloured in with Copics and you can read more about her here on my blogpost.

Don't forget to check out all the other gorgeous design team posts this week and why not join in the fun with our challenge this month? There are some fabulous prizes to be won!

You can also join our Facebook group for more inspiration and we have a monthly Facebook Challenge as well.

Gloria's Inspiration Post - Tuesday, 4th October, 2016

Good morning!  Thank you for visiting Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge Blog.  Our DT inspiration post this week is Halloween or Something Spooky; so I have chosen to use the gorgeous image "The Perfect Pumpkin".  I normally don't create Halloween cards; because I don't have anyone other than one set of grandkids that are still young enough to celebrate it.  

I love this sweet lady with her cat and pumpkin.  I have colored her with Copic Markers, a bright purple; which looks blue in pictures.  For more information visit My Blog Post.

We would love to see your gorgeous creations in our October Monthly Challenge.  This month's challenge is "Halloween or Something Spooky".  We can't wait to see what you create.  You will have a chance to win more of Ching-Chou Kuik images.

CCK is celebrating our 2nd anniversary!  Ching-Chou Kuik is giving a free image "Spring Witch" to everyone who enters the October CCK blog challenge and the October Facebook challenge as well.  We can't wait to see your fabulous creations!  

Visit our Facebook Group for more inspiration and challenges.  Enter your creations for a chance to win more of Ching-Chou Kuik images.

Need more images?  Check out Ching-Chou Kuik Etsy Shop.

Don't forget to visit this blog daily for more gorgeous DT creations.  

Have a wonderful day!
