CHNC challenge 548

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

We look forward to seeing all of your lovely festive crafting this week. There is still plenty of time to avoid panic when it gets towards the end of the year.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 547:

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

Congratulations, Becca. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Craft Sensations design pad Love Life.

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 'use a snowflake or two or more'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
