You can choose one, or both, and I'd love to see what you come up with ...

December Theme Challenge


Hello and welcome to this week's challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

I'm Gill and for my theme challenge this week, I chose snowflakes.

Snowflakes often come to mind when we think of Christmas. 
The romantic idea of a traditional, white Christmas is just magical.

Here are five fun facts about snowflakes:

1) all snowflakes have 6 arms
2) all snowflakes are unique
3) it doesn't have to be freezing to snow
4) it can never be too cold for snow
5) snow isn't actually white - it's translucent!
 


Don't forget, your card may be one of the lucky ones chosen 
by the Design Team to receive a little surprise, 
so do join us for a chance to win.


The Design Team have been super busy creating some wonderful inspiration for you - 
do hop over to their blogs to see more of their wonderful creations.  























We hope you'll feel inspired to play along with us this week.
