CHNC challenge 365

Thank you for all your lovely entries for last week's challenge - such a lot of entries once again! As Christmas Day will have happened before this challenge ends, there will no more time to make Christmas designs for this year, but perhaps you've made some cards and not blogged them yet ... please feel free to add as many entries as you wish. Or you might want to keep out your Christmas stash or use some crafting presents you've received to make some new Christmas cards.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 364:

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

Number 59:  Megan, with a lovely trio of Christmas cards - this is one of them:

Congratulations, Megan. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can arrange for you to claim your Floral Delight stamps and 3D toppers.

Please note that the winner needs to claim the prize by 6 January (2 weeks)

Every CHNC challenge is '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 to use the word 'Christmas'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

Challenge 365:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: use the word 'Christmas'

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

Crafter's Companion Signature collection by Sara Davies
Floral Delight embossing folder & stamp set 
+ Floral Delight 3D toppers You're the best

For my card I used an offcut piece of embossed mirri card, which had been embossed using an Embossalicious star of wonder folder. The image is a digital one called snow family, a retired image from Beccy's Place. You can see it here on My Crafty Outlook:

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 use the word 'Christmas'.
