Ok...so on to our new challenge...it's Helen here hosting this fortnight, and the theme is:

'N is for Noel'

with the optional extra of Embossing

Noel (or noël, sometimes written as nowell in English) is an alternate word for Christmas. The word comes from the French word Noël meaning "Christmas" 

So...basically...'anything Christmas' will do this week...how easy is that???

Our sponsor for this challenge is Wild Rose Studio, who are very generously offering the winner of this challenge 2 stamps of the winner's choice from their fabulous Christmas Collection which you can see here. Not only that, but they gave the DT some adorable images and yummy papers to play with! Thank you!
Ok...so here are the cards from our design team...starting with our two lovely guest designers:

Apologies from Samantha

Our lovely Samantha has asked me to apologise to the winners of the prizes for the last challenge, and the surprise candy. There will be a slight delay in sending out your prizes...but they will be sent to you as soon as she is able. She's also not going to be blogging for the moment, so won't be commenting on entries for the current challnge. She has left a message explaining why on her blog.
Sending you a BIG hug hun!
