CHNC challenge 366

Please make sure you join me next week in welcoming my first ever DT members on this challenge blog.

Thank you for all your lovely entries for last week's challenge - such a lot of entries once again! Christmas is over now ... you might want to start making cards etc for next Christmas or you might just need a well-deserved rest. Perhaps you made some Christmas cards before Christmas, but didn't have time to blog them ... please add them to this week's challenge so we can all have a look.

As we will have started 2018 before this challenge ends, I want to wish everyone

A Happy New Year

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 365:

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

Number 17: Karen Ladd, with these lovely gift tags:

Congratulations, Karen. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can arrange for you to claim your Floral Delight embossing folder and stamp set + 3D toppers.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 13 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 'something beginning with S'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

Challenge 366:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: something beginning with S

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

Crisalis Classics by Christine Haworth
Travellers together unmounted rubber stamps
+ Together always unmouned rubber stamps

For my card I used part of a kit purchased long ago. My things beginning with S: swirls, sentiments, sparkle, scallops, spots ... 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 'something beginning with S'.
