December Challenge Reminder - Christmas Decorations

Hello, and welcome back to the Christmas Craft Creations challenge for December!
 
We hope you have all had a fabulous Christmas time! Whilst the holidays may be finished for this year, it's never to early to start on your cards and projects for next year.

This month our theme is Christmas Decorations - 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 wonderful 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 Branch Background Cling Stamp and Flourish Background Cling Stamp (preloved), donated by Angela


Prize 2:
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.

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

First up is Trina of Phamtastic Design joining us for the month! Trina was the winner of the October challenge. Here is the wonderful card she made:

We are excited to have Penny of Penny Busch Creations joining us as a Guest Designer this month! The eagle-eyed amongst you may recall that Penny is a previous member of our Design Team, and we are thrilled to have her back with us this month. Here is the lovely card she made:
