CHNC challenge 400


Thank you for all lovely entries for last week's challenge - 48 super entries. We're looking forward to seeing your festive designs this week.

Before I tell you about this week's challenge, I need to let you know the winner of challenge 399:

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




Number 24: Vanilla Hev'n (Heather), with this lovely card:


Congratulations, Heather. Please email me at craftyhazelnut@gmail.com with your full name and address so I can post your Signature collection by Sara Davies Butterfly Lullaby 3D toppers 'From me to you' and 'Sent with love'.

Please note that winner needs to claim the prize by 8 September (2 weeks)

There are some unclaimed prizes - as this is holiday time for many people, please get in touch with me if you were a winner even if the stated date has gone by.

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 'include a reindeer'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

Challenge 400:

anything goes as long as it's Christmas

Every week a prize is given to a randomly chosen winner - this is the prize I'm giving for this challenge:

Merry Christmas

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