CHNC challenge 474


Thank you so much for all of your wonderful festive designs shared last week.


We look forward to seeing all your lovely festive crafting this week - perhaps something that was made before Christmas and not blogged ... or perhaps you are starting on your designs for next Christmas - lol! It's never too early to start.


Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 473:

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 'no sentiment'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
