Christmas inspiration

Morning everyone, we have some more Christmas inspiration for you. Lots of lovely entries so far this month but still plenty of time if you've not joined in yet or are still in Christmas card mode and have more to share - remember you can enter three times and you have until Wednesday 29th November.

A reminder of the change to our rules which have been relaxed and will now require 'At least one stamped element on the front of entries'. Of course if you are a seasoned stamper then we will still love seeing your fully stamped creations and the Design Team will continue to offer stamped inspiration.

And a reminder of the prizes on offer Penny Black, a stamp set full of their familiar cuties and a seasonal border die.

 

Here are the designs from the team, lots of variations to inspire you....

November challenge

Welcome to our November challenge which I will tell you more about that further down, first I need to let you all know that there are some changes to our entry requirementsAlthough we love stamping, with so many new products and techniques available to crafters we want to be more inclusive of your different styles.

So with immediate effect we have relaxed our rules and will now require you to have 'At least one stamped element on the front of entries'. Of course if you are a seasoned stamper then we will still love seeing your fully stamped creations and the Design Team will continue to offer stamped inspiration.

Now for our theme....
'Get ready for Christmas'

The perfect opportunity to get a few more of those seasonal makes made, as always there is the Anything Goes option for those who prefer.
