ABC Christmas Challenge - Y & Z are for?

It's Helen here with the final ABC Christmas Challenge of the year (!), but before I get on to this month's themes...don't forget to check the post below to see if you were a lucky winner of our last challenge!

*********

Before we get on to this month's challenge, I have a couple of announcements.

Firstly, as many of you will know, this wonderful festive challenge of ours was the brainchild of Samantha, and after twelve years of inspiring us with her fabulous crafty projects, coming up with awesome challenge themes, supporting her fellow design team members, and generally being brilliant, she has decided that it's time to leave us. 

On behalf of the Design Team, I would like to say a BIG Thank You to Samantha for everything that she has done for us - we will all miss you terribly!

Secondly, our Design Team Call is still running on this month's challenge, so if you fancy joining our ABC Christmas Challenge family, read on...if not, don't worry, you can still enter this challenge as normal, but you might want to scroll past the DT call information. If you have already put yourself forwards on last month's challenge, no need to do it again...you're already on our list 😉 

DT Call Information

As a DT member, you would be required to make a Christmas Card/Project for each challenge (once a month), and comment on entries to the challenges - we have a rota, but you can comment or more if you wish! So the commenting is shared between us all :0)

We also take it in turns to post the challenges on this blog, and choose the 'Top 3' for the challenges we 'host'.

We are a very friendly and democratic team, and appreciate everyone's input into challenge themes, and have a DT blog, where we chat and share our ideas.

No previous design team experience necessary and we welcome crafters of all styles!

So, if you love crafting for Christmas as much as we do, and fancy joining our team, here's what you need to do:
  1. Make an item for this challenge.
  2. Add 'DT' after your name on the Inlinkz gadget
  3. That's it - GOOD LUCK!

The DT Call will end at the end of this month's challenge, so please don't be shy!

Now, back to this month's challenge.


This month we have two lovely themes for you:

'Y is for Yummy'
