Christmas Stampathon 2019 - January


Welcome to the...

1st Round of the
Christmas Stampathon 2019

Be inspired every month with a Christmas Challenge on the 25th of the month.

Wow I can not believe I have not blogged in such a long time!!  It's been a crazy few months with the holidays, family time, hubby time, and my day job.  End of year at work is a bugger, but not that January is almost over...what??...I am finally starting to slag off a little.  Just in time for the January challenge for the Christmas Stampathon 2019!!!

Rules and How to play along will be below, and remember there are prizes at the end!!

Congratulations to the 2018 winners: 1st Prize - Jurissa for the BIG box of goodies, 2nd Prize - Janet for taking home 10 hand made projects from the Ladybug.

A little detour for just a second, I will be announcing some future changes to my business and vlog channel.  I need to cut out some steps in my business to hopefully make it easier to accomplish what I would like to in 2019.  So be on the look out for that on my YouTube channel.


The theme this month is frugal crafting.

Make use of what you have, whether it's products in your stash, some pretty packaging or some scraps.

This month's challenge is to make at least

4 cards, or tags 

I am joined by the 3 other demonstrators from around the world

Ruth Trice - Artful Stampin  from the U.K.

Ellen Woodbridge - The Happy Stamper from Australia

and 

Rosalie Desmond - Stampin with Rosalie from Australia


Here is my video tutorial...
