Christmas, New year and January Challenge...

All of us at Scrapping Outback would like to wish all of you, our supportive followers a very Merry and most of all SAFE Christmas and New Year!!! May you all be blessed with good health, wealth and most of all happiness for the new year!!!

We would like to thank you all for all your support throughout 2016 and truly hope that you continue to enjoy and join in with our challenges in the NEW YEAR!!! :)

As January is usually time spent with the kids, family and getting out and about in the summer, we will not be having a January Challenge, we will resume the challenges in Feb and already have a gorgeous colour combo lined up for you in the new year :)

The announcement of the December challenge winner will be delayed as I will be away and may not have access to a computer so please hang in there for the winner announcement mid January 2017.

Once again, than you all so much for your support in 2016, we love seeing all the fantastic challenge entries.

Take care and be Merry
