Happy New Year
Welcome to my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge
Welcome to my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge
Welcome to my Christmas challenge blog. Every Saturday I will set a challenge that involves making a Christmas card - you will have until 22:00 UK time the following Friday to submit your creation for this.
I hope you still have your Christmas stash available - please don't put it away this year - get a head start for later in the year and make a New Year's Resolution to make Christmas cards throughout the year - you know it makes sense!
Having just survived the mad frenzy of getting everything done in time for Christmas, we need a gentle start with these challenges, so I'm asking you to join me in 'anything goes' as long as it is a Christmas card.
You can use any materials, any techniques, as long as the end result is a Christmas card.
And you can enter as many times as you wish and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.
Not every time, but now and again I will award a prize for a randomly drawn winner. As it's New Year and I'm feeling generous, the winner this time will receive these two packs of Dovecraft Premium embossed cards, 'fantasy 1' and 'fairies'. As you can see, they didn't photograph at all well because they are embossed white, so it's hard for the embossing to show up.
These scans of individual cards show the embossing a bit, but they are much nicer irl:
This is my card for this challenge:
You can see the sketch I used and the other challenges I combined by visiting my regular 'My Crafty Outlook' blog. The snowman image is one that I selected for a prize for being randomly picked as winner on Shelly's TTT. The image is called 'all wrapped up'.I'd love you to join in by making a Christmas card - remember 'anything goes' as long as it's newly made and for Christmas - and adding a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your card can be found) by 22:00 UK time Friday 7 January.
A new challenge will be set on 8 January. If by any chance Linky disappears, please leave a comment with the link to your blog post and I will make sure it is added.
If you haven't done so already, please become a follower and grab my bright pink button to post on your sidebar and help spread the word about this new challenge blog - thank you.
I look forward to seeing your creations.
Please note: Linky tools was set to expire at 22:00 UK time, so I don't know why it's now closed. If you wish to add your creation please leave a comment with your link and I'll make sure it's included in the random draw.
