Challenge 9...Embossing...

Spring is definitely knocking at the doors of Humbug Hall and we are doing our best to knuckle down to some much needed Spring cleaning.  There's a frenzy of feather dusters clearing the corridors of cobwebs and we've started to remove the Winter grime from the windows in anticipation of seeing the first tentative buds of the Spring bulbs when they decide to poke their pretty heads through.
Bah! Humbug! regulars may have also noticed some changes to our sidebar with new Christmas Challenge links added - thanks to Wendy who kindly shared her list!   We are trying to decide whether to go the whole hog and redecorate completely, although we're very fond of our cute reindeer and can't imagine finding anything else to replace them.   So if you have an opinion that would help us make up our minds, then we'd love to hear it.  Probably the most noticable difference has been the removal of our Humbugger photo, which was taken down for cleaning and, following Irene's recent resignation, we decided it was best to wait until we have an updated one to replace it.  
Watch that space as it won't be empty for long! 
As if all that wasn't exciting enough ... we have our first new challenge for March, which not only brings the chance to win this fabulous prize ... 
... but also heralds the arrival of 2 new Guest Designers,
who are going to tantalise your crafty tastebuds until they burst!  So you'd better hang onto your Humbug Hats because  you're about to be SPOILED STUPID!  Just check out the examples below to see for yourselves and if you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or leave some love for Ann, Judith and Fiona,  please click on the links above each card to visit their personal blogs.


*********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 10th March 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 entry in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity and automatically include you in the Monthly Prize Draw.
