August Challenge Reminder - Non-Traditional Colours

Hello, and welcome back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for August!

This month our theme iis Non-Traditional Colours - please make sure the theme is very clear in your project. If you missed our launch of the challenge you can find inspiration from our wonderful launch team here. And of course there's even more beautiful inspiration to share with you today from our talented reminder team.

This month's prize is a €10 gift card to the shop of the winner's choice (as long as they do gift cards!) generously donated by Arwen. The prize winner will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules. Rules are in the side bar if you need a refresher.

Please note - the winners for last month's prizes have now been picked. My apologies again for the delay. Please be sure to check the winners post and claim your prize!

First, we are excited to have Melanie of Cards by Melanie joining us as a Guest Designer this month! Melanie was the winner of the June challenge. Here is the sweet card she made:

The theme was Anything Goes, and we had lots of fabulous entries from you all. Visit the launch and reminder posts to see what inspiration the teams had given, as well as to take a look at all the entries.

First up, the information on the randomly picked prize winners will be a little delayed. I will be back later and edit them into this post, so be sure to check again. We sadly lost our little girl cat quite suddenly earlier this week, and I've been struggling to manage with everything as I come to terms with the loss. I will return to work out the prize winners as soon as I feel up to it.

Congratulations to all three of you! The Honourable Mention badge is below for you to display on your blogs.

If you want to be in with a chance to be our Winner or Honourable Mention in future, all you have to do is play along with our challenges!
