CHNC challenge 618

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 - as November begins during this week we need to think seriously about getting things done ready for Christmas.

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 'make your own background'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.

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 - it seems impossible that we are now well into October .... there aren't too many weeks to go ... still time to calmly get things done before panic sets in.

However, there will always be an optional theme, which this week is 'add a flower or two or more'. I want to stress that this is purely optional.
