CHNC challenge 405


Thank you for all lovely entries for last week's challenge - a wonderful number of super entries. More and more crafters are adding their designs as it's getting towards that time of year when Christmas crafting is becoming more urgent before panic sets in - lol! We're looking forward to seeing your festive designs this week.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 404:

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



Number 85: Ardilla, with this lovely card:


Congratulations, Ardilla. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Papermania Christmas time clear stamp collection.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 13 October (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 the letter S'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
