Good morning wow where has the week gone nearly weekend and seem as if i have done nothing.

Well if you get time for a great challenge then why not join us at CRAFT

our challenge this time is

CHRISTMAS

our wonderful generous sponsor is Oddball Art

The prize for the winner is a $10 voucher for Oddball Art.

 We where allowed to pick some image to play with as a team and I picked this cutie for my card

The image is Cute Reindeer and is available from the store HERE

I think this would make a fab 1st Christmas as he looks so young I am sure it is Rudolph

Coloured with Promarkers

Dies are a mixture of Spellbinder Marianne and Savvy

DP is a pad from one of the home shops

Kraft card

Acrylic pain glitter & gems from stash.

This is a airly flat card which means I might get away with a normal stamp which is always good at Christmas and i need to make some more like this but I think all the elements gives interest what do you think.

Well I do hope that you will join us this time.
