We look forward to seeing all your lovely festive crafting this week.. Now that we are nearly into August it's a good time to get ahead ahead with those Christmas designs.


Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 499:

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.
