CHNC challenge 575

Wishing you all a Happy New Year

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful festive designs shared last week - so  many festive entries, especially when everyone is so busy throughout Christmas

We look forward to seeing all of your lovely festive crafting this week - a time to show some of those designs that haven't been blogged yet.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 574:

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

Number  11: Sona D, with this lovely card:

Congratulations, Sona. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Pretty pastels paperstack.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 8 January (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 'any Christmas or new year design'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

I have some news for you which I hope will not put you off sharing here. From now on I won't be giving prizes, so the challenges will be just for fun.

I'm pleased to say that we have a new DT member joining us:
