Christmas Bingo Challenge

Judy here, it is my turn to chose the challenge at Holly Jolly and I chose a bingo. To play along with us you must chose a line across, diagonally or down and make your card using the three items that you find in that row.   

 We are sponsored this week by bugaboo, so the winner of this challenge wins

Here is a little about Jodie and Bugaboo:

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects. Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!

If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug.

 Here are the Holly Jolly Elves designs to give you some inspiration
