CHNC challenge 455

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 454:

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

Number 37: Michelle L, with this lovely card:

Congratulations, Michelle. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Annabelle stamps Daisy delight.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 28 September (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 'include some plaid, checked or gingham paper'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

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.

And please be aware that the Patterned Paper Challenge is not restricted to Christmas - it is for any occasions as long as some patterned paper has been used.
