Good morning, we hope you are ready for our November challenge where this month our theme is simply......

Christmas

Whichever route you follow we look forward to seeing your entries but please remember you must provide details of products used and as always your entry must have at least one stamped element on the front of work to be eligible. (note added, our October prizes all remain unclaimed)
