Hi peeps and hope you are all OK and that you are all ready for the BIG DAY : )

A huge thank you to everybody who joined in last week –   we hope you enjoyed the last Christmas challenge of the year.

Now onto this week  and our theme today is

Pick A Fave

This is our last challenge of the year and our next one will be on Tuesday 6th January 2015

So we want you to have a gander back at all the challenges of  this year and pick your fave and use that as your theme.
It has to be a new piece of work of course – you can’t use an old card.

But you can do an Anything Goes theme if you want to – it’s a very open challenge. 
And of course you will have 2 weeks to have join in.

As it’s the last challenge of the month and indeed the year, we are sponsored by those fabulous people across the pond.

Yes it’s the one and only and utterly fab
