Now that we are beginning November, it's time to be more serious about Christmas designs - I hope you will be able to join in our November challenge. ... it can be any creation as long as it's for Christmas and you can enter as many times as you wish.

Bugaboo Stamps always generously sponsor my CHNC challenge extra and provide images for the team to use and showcase. The image I've used is cat topper Christmas, a pre-coloured one. I used papers from Dovecraft's The magic of Christmas paper pack, wrapping the torn piece with some sparkly organza ribbon.

CHNC challenge 357


This is my card for my CHNC challenge 357 - please click on the link to find out what it's all about and I hope you'll be able to join in with your Christmas designs - anything goes as long as it's Christmas with the optional theme of things with wings.

For my card I used two parts of a recycled card - can't take any credit for doing any crafting with this one, but it was too good to put in the recycling paper bin. I won't be entering any challenges with it because I did nothing other than stick the pieces together on the card blank.
