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

This month our theme is Monochromatic - 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 fantastic launch team here. And of course, there's even more beautiful inspiration to share with you today from our talented reminder team.

For those of you who play along with us this month, we have some lovely prizes up for grabs. In no particular order, they are:

Prize 1

Hero Arts - Dots Background Cling Stamp (preloved) and Stripes Background Cling Stamp (preloved), donated by Angela

Prize 2

Penny Black - Holly-Days Clear Stamp, donated by Michelle

Prize 3

Mystery prize pack, donated by Charlotte (UK/EU only)

The prize winners will be picked randomly from among those entrants who have followed all the rules, which are in the sidebar if you need a refresher. If you have a preference as to which prize you'd like (or if there are any you definitely don't want) please leave a comment below letting me know, and I will do my best to keep those preferences in mind when drawing winners.

We are excited to have two Guest Designers joining us this month.

First, we have Heather of Heather's Pages! Heather was the winner of the August challenge. Here is the magnificently mossy card she made:

Plus we have the lovely Prudence of _penguinparade on Instagram back with us again this month. Prudence has a gorgeous gilded design:
