CHNC challenge 457

Thank you for all the lovely entries for last week's challenge.

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 456:

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

Number 15: Silke, with this lovely card:

Congratulations, Silke. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Darice Dress Forms embossing folders.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 12 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 'for someone special'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
