Ice staking bear

Morning Folks!
Hope you're all OK and those Christmas preparations are coming together... if you're as disorganised as me, don't panic there's still a few sleeps to go yet!! Today, I'm sharing my last Guest design team card for the new challenge over at House Mouse and Friends, where the new theme is 

SILVER or GOLD

I've had a great time joining in the House Mouse fun for the last few challenges and I'd just like to thank all the HM team for inviting me to join them and to wish them all a very Happy Festive season!!

So onto my card..
I went for the silver option because I generally prefer it to gold, even in real life  which is unusual because I normally have expensive taste - LOL!!


This little chap looks a bit nervous I think, not exactly a confident skater!! He is one half of the skater pair on the Dancing Queen Gruffies set from Joanna Sheen. He's been coloured with promarkers and a bit of glitter pen and stickles for the ice.


The frame is made from four Memory Box Snowflake corner dies and lots of aqua bling. Sentiment is from Crafters Companion and the snowflake ribbon is a bargain from the xmas gift wrap department at Asda.


Thanks for looking in today and for any comments you leave, much appreciated and please try to find the time to join in over at HM&F - it runs until January 11th so you could do it after the big HO, HO, HO!!
Wish me luck, today's mission is to the post office with a few parcels....
