I am delighted to see so many joining in the challenges - thank you so much for your support and encouraging comments.
Please note that I publish the prize winners here and on our facebook page, but don't notify winners individually - it is up to you all to check to see if you have won and email me as requested. There are one or two unclaimed prizes, so it's worth having a look back to see if you were a winner.

Challenge 198
For today's challenge I'd like you to make a Christmas card using something round - it doesn't have to be a shaped card (unless you want it to be) as long as there is something round on your creation - circles, dots, spots, brads, buttons ... I'm sure you get the idea!
