Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the brand new challenge from the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog.

At least that way I will have a few piled up ready for the holiday season this year!

I have used the gorgeous Northern Blessing on this card and added lots of glitter to all the snowflake die cuts.

Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog - January 2018

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:

and that card is by GEESJE (Engelchen).

Congratulations.  

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.

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.

*****************************************

Now is the time to reveal the name of the Guest Designer for February 2018.

The lucky winner is No 8 and that is NELIDA.  

I will be in touch shortly with details of the challenge and to ask you to pick an image from the Etsy Store to use for your card/creation as a "thank you" for being the Guest Designer.

I do though have a card to share from our other Guest Designer for this month Geesje and this is the card that she has created using the image called "Time Flies":

Here is a project I have to share which has been made by Wendy, Facebook DT member:

Don't forget if you would like to be a Guest Designer for a forthcoming challenge please remember to add "GDT" after you name in the Linky Tools or add a comment in the comment box.

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.
