CHNC challenge 576

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful festive designs shared last week - so  many festive entries, especially when everyone was still involved in celebrating new year.

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 ... or some Christmas designs that you've done to start the year off well with new supplies.

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 'upcycle or use something old'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

Challenge 576

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

optional theme: upcycle or use something old

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.

Here are the designs from myself and the rest of my wonderful team - I am so grateful to them for sharing their lovely designs:
