CHNC challenge 570

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

We look forward to seeing all of your lovely festive crafting this week. By the time this challenge ends it will be December, so let's get those Christmas designs made and shared.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 569:

Congratulations, Darlene. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Happy watercolour design pad.

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 'something beginning with the letter R'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
