CHNC challenge 579

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

We look forward to seeing all of your lovely festive crafting this week - a time to show some of those Christmas designs that you've done to start the year off well with new supplies. ... or some designs that haven't been blogged yet

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 'use a sentiment'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
