CHALLENGE #5 - Christmas or Hanakkah

I can't think of any time of the year I look forward to more than Christmas, even though it means the onset of cold winter weather. Recently I learned a little about the Jewish Hanukkah celebration where one day's worth of oil kept the temple lamps burning for a full 8 days. It makes me think of how I want to keep the light of Christ burning in my heart always and learn to keep Christmas a little better each year.

November's challenge is to make a papercraft project with the theme of Christmas or Hanukkah. 

We are always thankful for our main sponsor, 

Avadares is now offering 2 chances for our entrants to win prizes. InLinkz will choose a winner of two free Avadares images out of all the entries submitted. A second prize will be drawn from all entries using an Avadares image to win 1 free Avadares digi.

We are also thrilled to welcome

 as our newest sponsor. Crafty-Emblies is a UK company that makes beautiful and unique wooden embellishments. They are offering a generous £10 voucher to their store to the winner of this challenge. I have used a Crafty-Emblies embellishment on my card this month to give you an idea, but you will want to check out their store to see more of their impressive inventory.

And now for some inspiration from the Avadares Design Team.
