Challenge 45 - Lovely in Lilac...

We can hardly believe how many different reindeer images you all had tucked away in your crafty stash.  The 'Humbuggers' certainly saw a varied range during the course of last week ... everything from the funny, cute and quirky to others that were classy, decorative and elegant. 

Now brace yourselves because the bad news is that we have reached our penultimate challenge for this year ....  
"OH NO!" we hear you groan ... 
"AFRAID SO!" is our sad reply.  
It will feel strange not having any Bah! Humbug! Challenges in December, but we hope that, like us,  you'll feel as pleased as Christmas Punch when you consider the sizeable collection of beautiful cards you have crafted during the past 11 months!  
WELL DONE EVERYONE!   
YAY! WHOOP WHOOP!
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL. 
AND continuing the positivity, the good news is that we still have another challenge after this one ... 
AND there's also the announcement of our Special Prize Draw winners to look forward to before we go into temporary hibernation.  SEE! ... it's not all doom and gloom.
This week we challenge you to concentrate on using 
Shades of Lilac
We are not forbidding the use of other complementary or contrasting colours in your project, but obviously we want the main focus to be lilac tones.   However, if you're knee deep in Christmas shopping, wrapping Christmas presents, suffering with a sore throat, going to work in the freezing cold, cooking meals and trying to make things for a fund raising event all at once without even taking a breath!! ....  then you may, of course, get the wrong idea completely ... (as one of the Humbuggers did) ... and just use a touch of lilac on your card instead.  
Awwww bless her heart!  Let's pretend we haven't  noticed *wink*
If you'd like to see the details of how the DT created the luvverly lilac examples below, simply click the names to visit our personal blogs and don't forget to leave some love.

Max
The deadline for this challenge is

12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 25th November 2010
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.

Ann, Irene, Max

    Stunning cards ladies, I'll have to see if I've got any lilac paper lurking anywhere as its not a colour I normally use.... failing that I may have to go on a spree!!! Lots of love Steph

    It's rare to see the word "penultimate" used and I get positiviely giddy over such silly stuff. I almost want to make my daughter read this post since she wasn't too thrilled when I forced that word on delicate brain a few years ago.

Guess what I've got to start doing again...... yup more Christmas cards for ME to send!! lol. You can find my card here.

    Hello girls and before I go any further I do have to say thank you for getting me going on my Christmas cards so early so there is no panic at all this year. I've loved joining in with you and as I have only missed a few weeks throughout the year all I have to do is some inserts, some people never learn and I know I should have done them as I went along but hey not too bad a job.

    My entry this week is on my blog as usual, hope you like them! here it is!

    Looking ofrward to doing the same again next year.

    Fabulous samples again girls! You've chosen my favourite colourway here so I couldn't miss this one or I think one of you would have had to point out the error of my ways! I'll look forward to the last challenge of the year....and starting all over again in January! In the meantime, my Lovely in Lilac is here.

    Thanks for looking,
