Good morning & Happy New Year everyone!

It's Helen here...welcome back to the ABC Christmas Challenge!

We're about to embark on our ninth (!!!) trip through the alphabet...and we hope that you will join us this year in our bid to be prepared for next Christmas! Perhaps you were lucky enough to receive some new Christmas craft bits in your stocking...or snapped up some bargains in the post-Christmas sales...perhaps one of your New Year's resolutions is to have your Christmas cards ready in plenty of time this year...or maybe you just haven't tidied away your Christmas stash away after making last year's cards yet! Whatever the reason, 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...don't forget to check the post below to see if you were a lucky winner of our last challenge!

We have, of course, gone right back to the start of the alphabet...and are easing you in gently with two super easy themes:

'A is for Antlers'

AND


'B is for Birds'

(Just don't forget the Christmas theme!)

 Our sponsors for this challenge are:

Good morning & Happy New Year everyone!

It's Helen here...welcome back to the ABC Christmas Challenge!

We're about to embark on our eighth (!!!) trip through the alphabet...and we hope that you will join us this year in our bid to be prepared for next Christmas! As you will (hopefully!) have seen last month, we're changing things up a little this year, and will have one challenge post each month...so obviously there will be more than one letter for each challenge, but also more time for you to play along! 
You can play along with one or all of the themes for the month...combine them if you like...you can still also enter as many projects as you like each month (as long as you're not back-linking to old posts) and combine our challenge with as many other challenges as you wish to (as long as their rules allow it) - we just want to help you prepare for next Christmas and have some fun (and perhaps win one of the fabulous prizes from our generous sponsors!) the way! 

Before I get on to this month's themes, I have a sad announcement to make...our lovely teamie Mandy is leaving us...we shall miss her unique style and cheery comments - thanks so much for being a wonderful DT buddy Mandy...we shall all miss you!

And...don't forget to check the post below to see if you were a lucky winner of our last challenge!
