 Good Morning everyone!

This weeks fun challenge is from Tristan and she would like us to create a project that is "Not a Card".

This can be anything you like in papercraft form and as you can see by the design team projects, there are so many options and it's also a great challenge for getting some festive packaging/tags done!

Happy crafting everyone!
