January Challenge Reminder - Snippets

Hello, and welcome back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for January!

This month our theme is Snippets. Not sure what that means? It's all about using up your scraps. Any bits of paper or even ribbon that you've already cut into for previous projects and have leftovers, this is a great way to make use of them. Or perhaps you'd like to upcycle some of the leftover pieces of cards, tags and paper from Christmas. 

Please make sure the theme is very clear in your project. If you're not sure how best to utilise snippets, there's a great challenge called Pixie's Snippets Playground which is all about doing exactly that. We also have lots of fantastic inspiration for you coming up, and you can check what the Launch Team made here.

This month's prize is a mystery destash prize pack donated by me, Charlotte/Lady Joyful! You can find more details on it in the launch post. The prize winner will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules. Rules are in the side bar if you need a refresher.

First, we still have Prudence of _penguinparade joining us as Guest Designer again this month! Prudence was the winner of the October challenge, joined us last month, and kindly agreed to fill in as Guest Design this month too. Here is the stunning card she created:

January Challenge - Snippets

Hello, and welcome to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for January! We all hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that your New Year is off to a happy, healthy and creative start.

This month our theme is Snippets. Not sure what that means? It's all about using up your scraps. Any bits of paper or even ribbon that you've already cut into for previous projects and have leftovers, this is a great way to make use of them. Or perhaps you'd like to upcycle some of the leftover pieces of cards, tags and paper from Christmas. 

Please make sure the theme is very clear in your project. If you're not sure how best to utilise snippets, there's a great challenge called Pixie's Snippets Playground which is all about doing exactly that. We also have lots of fantastic inspiration for you coming up.

This month's prize is a mystery destash prize pack donated by me, Charlotte/Lady Joyful! 

When I was preparing for my international move I tried to pare down my supplies, with the plan to get rid of a lot, but ran out of time. So I have a number of mystery envelopes to give away. I'll be giving one away this month, and you may see others later in the year too! The envelopes are all packaged up already so I don't know what's in which, and will pick one at random, but they all contain stamps, papers, and may also have things like ink, ribbon, stamps, dies, etc. You can see in this video the contents of the various packs:

The prize winner will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules. Rules are in the side bar if you need a refresher. Do make sure you follow the rules completely so that you won't miss out!

First, we are excited to have Prudence of _penguinparade joining us as Guest Designer again this month! Prudence was the winner of the October challenge, joined us last month, and kindly agreed to fill in as Guest Design this month too. Here are the wonderful cards she made:
