And of course there's even more wintry inspiration to share with you today from our talented reminder team.

Challenge Rules

1. Your entry must be a new project. Back linking is not allowed.

2. You must follow the provided theme, with the theme being immediately obvious, and create a Christmas project.

3. You must link back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge post in your blog post, and include the challenge graphic. Entries from Instagram should use the tag #ChristmasCraftCreations

4. You may enter a maximum of 3 projects per challenge. There is no limit on how many challenges you can enter alongside ours.

Any entries found to not be following the rules may be deleted from the link-up without warning.

A new challenge starts on the second Wednesday of each month at 8am GMT, with a reminder post (and more inspiration!) at the same time on the fourth Wednesday. The challenge will close at 6pm GMT the Tuesday before the next challenge starts, and winners will be announced on the third Wednesday of the month.

You can enter with any Christmas craft that follows the theme of the month - a card, scrapbook page, 3D item, etc.

We are happy to accept entries that are not on a blog - for example from Instagram, Splitcoast Stampers, Flickr, etc. We cannot guarantee that these entries will receive comments though, as some DT members may not have an account on those sites.
