CHNC challenge 470

I hope you had a good Christmas.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year

We look forward to seeing all your lovely festive crafting. Please show us anything you made for Christmas that you haven't shared before ... or perhaps you're starting again with your festive designs - lol!

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 469:

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

Number 104: myasperations (Kathy A), with this lovely card:

Congratulations, Kathy. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Make & Create Paper pad.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 11 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 'any Christmas or New Year card'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
