ABC Christmas Challenge - E, F & G are for?

It's Carol here, welcoming you to our  March challenge. We hope 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. 
You may have noticed that due to the large number of social media outlets these days, fewer people are visiting and commenting on your blogs. We know that can be disheartening, so we encourage you to visit one or two of the other entries each month and leave a nice comment. Let's give a lift to our crafty community!




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.

Now, on to our next challenge 

We have 3 themes this time:

'E is for Elves'

'F is for Foliage'

&

'G is for Gems'

I have a little prize for the randomly chosen winner:



a small Christmas stamp set from Papertrey Ink and a non-Christmas one from Visible Image.

Here is a little inspiration from our Design Team:
