Challenge 47 ... Cute Christmas Critters ...

"JINGS ... CRIVVENS ... Help ma boab TAM!"
It's hard to believe but the time has come for us Humbuggers to hang up our hats
and announce our final 2011 Challenge.
YES ... ALREADY!
We've enjoyed another fantasic year of festive fun, with visits from crafters across the globe joining in with our challenges.  Hopefully, we've achieved our aim of helping you be a little better prepared for posting duties than you otherwise might've been without us, and, more importantly, that you've had fun along the way.  We'd like to thank each and every one of you for your support during the past year and for sharing all your wonderful Christmas projects with us at Humbug Hall.  It has been an absolute blast and we've loved trit-trot-trampling our snow boots through your blogs every week to drool over all the gorgeous eye-candy you've had on display.   Extra-Special Humbug Hugs must go to all our wonderful 2011 Guest Designers who have been awesome in providing oodles of inspiration for us all.  You're amazing ladies!
But all good things must come to an end and we're now preparing for our annual Humbugger Hibernation.   We've got a good supply of chill pills along with a couple of cases ... ahem ... bottles of red, tucked up in a cosy corner waiting for us to join them.  But before we do that we'd like to invite you to play one last time this year following our theme of
Cute Christmas Critters 
In Bah! Humbug! tradition for the 1st Challenge of a new month, there is a wee prize on offer for one randomly drawn entry and, when Mr. Blogger stops his hiccupping, we'll be able to show you a sneaky-peek.   In the meantime, and before you rush away to play, check out the Humbugger's cutie-patootie critters below.
 Max - Max's Craft Creations
  Ann - Just for Fun
********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 8th December 2011
 *********************
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.
**We'll announce our Monthly Prize Draw Winner next weekend followed by our 2011 Loyalty Grand Prize Draw Winner ... SQUEAL!!**

  1. Oh ho seriously cute are those examples?!!

    Thanks to you all at Humbug Hall for your fabulously humorous posts and great challenges, it's been fun all year and an absolute privilege to have been a luck Guest DT member earlier in the year.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year fellow Humbuggers!

  7. I can hardly believe we've come to the end of another year's BH challenges and it has been fun all the way with so many interesting themes and inspiration every week to guide us along.  Seasons Greetings to all at Humbug Hall.  Here is my final card for this year - I reckon I've managed every week this time around!

  70. Well I must say a huge thank you for giving me a metaphorical kick up the bottom!! I've had a great stash of Christmas cards this year all thanks to the encouragement & humour from you 2 wonderful ladies. You've given us some cracking themes & amazing inspiration. I loved being a visitor to Humbug Hall to guest design for you, thank you for the warm welcome!

    Now onto the card, I've carried on in my tradition of being last minute lol! Here it is.
