CHNC challenge 587

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 make cards early in the year without any need to panic ... and you'll be grateful when it gets nearer to the end of the year.

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 'funny'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
