CHNC challenge 557

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 time to avoid panic when it gets towards the end of the year, although we are now almost into September.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 556:

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

Number 5: Dee's cards (Bookmark #1): with this lovely bookmark:

Congratulations, Dee. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Hobbycraft Merry Christmas Tree Clear stamp.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 11 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 'embossing (wet or dry)'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
