ABC Christmas Challenge - Blog Hop!

*This post will remain at the top until the blog hop finishes...please scroll down for newer posts*

Welcome to the first stop on the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog Hop!

We thought we'd have a little Christmas Eve fun to celebrate the launch of the new ABC Christmas Challenge blog...and offer you some candy. Each DT member has created a project to represent a letter...you will need to visit each of their blogs to collect each letter in order, then use them to fill in the spaces in our mystery Christmas Eve words to enter the ABC Christmas Challenge candy.

_A_ _A'_-_O_IN_

Here's my project:


My letter is 'S'...so I've made a beaded snowflake ornament. I threaded a mixture of red and gold beads on to a wire snowflake, then made loops at the ends to hold the beads in place.

I'm also entering this into Our Creative Corner's 'Snow or Smowflakes' challenge, and the Allsorts Challenge to make 'Anything BUT a card'.

I have put together a package of Christmas stamped images, and embellishments for my candy...perfect for you to join in some of our upcoming challenges. In order to be in with a chance of winning my candy, please leave me a link to your blog (once you've posted on your blog about our blog hop) with Mr Linky below.



Don't forget, that in order to enter the candy on the ABC Christmas Challenge blog, you'll need to collect the other missing letters from the rest of the design team's blogs...then use them to fill in the spaces in our Christmas Eve words...and email us the complete words (abcchristmaschallenge&hotmail.co.uk). The deadline to enter all of the candies is midnight on December 29th...the night before our first challenge!

Now head on over to Jan's blog...to see her fab project...collect her letter...and another chance to win!

Happy Hopping!
