CHNC challenge 320

What a lot of lovely entries yet again last week. It's been another fairly difficult week here, with today being particularly so. We had to have all the laminate taken up from our lounge, carpet from the hall and vinyl from the bathroom because a leak from the bathroom had gradually caused a lot of water damage. Needless to say I didn't have time today for much else (had to clear lots of crockery, glassware etc so that furniture could be moved). If I didn't manage to comment on your entry from last week, I apologise and will try to catch up as soon as I can.

Update Sunday: I've now managed to leave comments on all entries for last week - once again, apologies for being late.

Please see here for changes made at the beginning of this year.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 319. 

Please note that my email to send to is craftyhazelnut@gmail.com

Number 22: Tracy M, with this lovely card:

Congratulations, Tracy. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can arrange for you to receive your Cuddly Buddly clear stamps Merry Little Christmas.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 25 February (2 weeks)

From now on, every CHNC challenge will be 'anything goes as long as it's Christmas', which will, hopefully, encourage as many crafters as possible to join in with their festive creations. However, there will always be an optional theme, which this week is 'cute'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

Challenge 320:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: cute

Every week I will be giving a prize to a randomly chosen winner - this is the prize for this challenge:

(Sorry, not a good photo!)

Pure Frozen design pad

14.8 x 21 cm

32 sheets with 4 x 8 designs

This is my card following the optional theme: cute.  I used another of the lovely Elisabeth Bell toppers I purchased some time ago from Hobby House - you can read about it on My Crafty Outlook here:

Now it's over to you. You can use any materials, any techniques - it's anything goes as long as it's Christmas, with the optional theme of 'cute'.

I also run a challenge blog called Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - anything goes as long as you use some patterned paper - with a randomly chosen prize winner every month.
