Y and Z are for?

Hello everyone, its's Carol here, welcoming you to the final ABC Challenge of the year. Thank you for playing along last month and you can check if you are a winner in the post below this one. We had 188 entries and we really enjoyed looking through all your lovely creations.

It's Helen here, interrupting this post with a couple of announcements.

Firstly, sadly our lovely DT buddy Lisa is leaving us. On behalf of all of the ABC Christmas Challenge family, I'd like to say a great BIG thank you to Lisa for all of her wonderful cards and inspiration, and also for her friendship - we shall all miss you!

 Secondly, and on a happier note, I can tell you the people that we have chosen from the entries to last month's DT Call to join our little team. Thank you to everyone that applied - we all really enjoyed having a nose around your fabulous blogs! Unfortunately, we can't take you all, but we would love to invite the following people to come aboard:

Congratulations! Please email us so that we can get you all sorted.
Now I'll hand you back to Carol for this month's challenge.

How did the year whiz by so quickly! If you have been playing along with us all year, I hope you have a nice pile of holiday cards that will make the run up to Christmas easier for you, but if you still have some last minute cards to make, our December challenge should make it fun for you.

We have reached the end of the alphabet and our themes this time are

Y is for Your Favourite Thing

and

Z is for Zero embellishments

and our challenge will run until the 31st December.
