Merry Everything and Happy Always

Morning well I decided to make some simple flat cards but wanted still to have the AAArh factor and i recently got this set from Beccys Place and thought it was the perfect image hope you think so too.

Image from Beccys place available here it even comes with a pre coloured version

Promarkers

DP from Poundland wow a bargin

Twine & Gems

The set come with another and is called Dasher and Dancer and the sentiment comes with the image.

i will be posting another with the other image shortly

Reason for flat cards is due to the postage at Christmas and i am hoping as the gems are small i get away with it.

Well what do you think isnt he a cutie.

Thanks for popping by and dont forget Passion for promarkers have a new challenge starting today. Fave colours
