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

This month our theme is Add A Hat - 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 fantastic 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:

Gemini by Crafters Companion - Opulent Swirls Die, donated by Angela

Prize 2:

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

Prize 3:

Concord and 9th Everyday Purse dies, donated by Laurie

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.

First, we still have four Guest Designers joining us this month!

First up is Deborah of Deborah’s Crafty Blog joining us for the month! Deborah was the winner of the September challenge. Here is the lovely card she made:
