Hello lovely makers and creators, it's Naomi here.
 
It's that time of the week again here at Crafty Catz for a new challenge, but first I need to talk nicely with Mr Random Number Generator for our winner of challenge 160 - Snowflakes, Stars and Sentiments.
 
 
Thank you to everyone who took part, sadly we can only have 1 winner at that person is:
Number 17: Ellie Booij
Congratulations!
Please contact Carol to arrange your prize

Before we begin, all the girls here at Crafty Catz would like to send best wishes for a speedy recovery to our team mate Janette. Take care of yourself and hope to see you back with us soon.


So on to this weeks challenge. I would like to see you all RECYCLE / UPCYCLE.
So it's time for you rescue those bits of ribbon off chocolate boxes or maybe give a Christmas decoration a new lease of life. Whatever it is, make sure you tell us what it is you've rescued and given a new lease of life too.
