Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog - December 2016 - Bright and beautiful

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 15 and that card has been created by Julie Reed.  This is the card that Julie made:

Congratulations Julie.  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.

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 November 2016 is No 13:

and that card is by Wendy.  Well No 13 is unlucky for some but not for Wendy.  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.

Now is the time to reveal the name of the Guest Designer for January 2017.  Unfortunately when I came back from holiday I forgot to contact last months' Guest Designer winner Lynsey so I am asking her to be a Guest Designer for January.  

This month both Wendy and Bettina asked to be a Guest Designer so they are being invited to join us in January to start off the beginning of another year of the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge Blog.

I will be in touch with Lynsey, Wendy and Bettina shortly to give you details of the January Challenge and for you to let me know what image you would like to use for the challenge as a "thank you" for being the Guest Designer.

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 InLinkz 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.
