This is a quick card that I made using a picture that was rescued from an advertising leaflet, mounted on to a tent opening A5 card - you can read more about it here on My Crafty Outlook:

Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques - and this week I'd like to see whatever is still urgently needed for Christmas - you might still need to make some last minute cards or perhaps you're making place settings, decorations, boxes, bags ... whatever is still urgent, (this can include anything you made recently but hadn't blogged yet). I'd love you to like your entries.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge - please add a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your card can be found) by 22:00 UK time Friday 26 December. Please include a link to this blogpost within the post for your creation.

You can enter as many times as you wish  and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.

A new challenge will be set on Saturday 27 December when there will be three chances to win a prize, thanks to generous sponsors.
