ABC Christmas Challenge February - C & D are for?

  Hello there Everyone!


It's Lynda/Loopyloo here welcoming you to another challenge. We hope that you will join us this year in our bid to be prepared for next Christmas! We'd love to have you play along with us all year - we have two (or sometimes three) fun themes each month, with plenty of projects from our design team to help inspire you!

Before I get on to this month's themes, may I remind you to check the post below to see if you were a lucky winner of our last challenge!

 Whilst, as our name suggests, we are predominantly a Christmas challenge, we would like to extend a very warm welcome to cards made for other December/Winter Holidays (for example Hanukkah, Yule etc). There may still be some of our themes that are specifically 'Christmas', but many would work for other Winter Holidays and Festivals too, so as long as your project fits the theme, we are happy for you to enter our challenges.

We have noticed an increasing number of entries posted on Instagram...we're very happy to have you on board & you'll find some of our DT members there too...please use the hashtag #abcchristmaschallenge on your posts.

I also need to let you know we're making a slight adjustment to our rules:

Please note that we will now be accepting a maximum of five entries from any one blog into each challenge.

Here are the themes for your Christmas creations this month:

'C is for Cute'
&
'D is for Die Cuts'

There's a little prize from me of two Christmas stamp sets for the lucky winner:





And now it's time for some inspiration from our Design Team:


C is for Cute


D is for Die Cuts





 C is for Cute

D is for Die Cuts




C is for Cute and D is for die cutting





D is for Die Cutting




C is for Cute and D is for Die cutting




C is for Cute and D is for Die Cutting







So now it's over to you...this challenge ends on Saturday 8th March at 10pm (GMT).
Please link up your entries below.
We look forward to seeing what you create!
