Christmas shopping!

Hi Folks!

Yay, it's Friday - I began to think the weekend would never arrive.....

I'm on a roll with Christmas cards - this is the third one this week!! I won this gorgeous Stampendous stamp on Ebay over the summer, it was in a  job lot of three new cling Xmas stamps which I got for £2.20 - I do love a bargain. Here it is in it's first outing :


I think this must be a lady polar bear because 
1. She has gorgeous eyelashes 
2. She has sorted out, bought and wrapped Christmas parcels and it isn't even Christmas Eve!


She is coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers along with some flower soft 'snow' and a good sprinkle of glamour dust. The papers are all from my scraps folders, the darker one is from The Snowman range and the other one was a magazine freebie, all finished off with my favourite Christmas die by Memory Box and some gems.

I was inspired by the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

I'm joining the fun over at Snippets playground, I haven't managed to play along for a while so I'm heading over to say hello to Di and Parsnip who are up to week 255

I'd also like to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp on Wednesdays - Christmas critters
Word Art Wednesdays - Anything goes
Passion for promarkers - Christmas is coming
Crafty Creations - Animals
Cute Card Thursdays - Christmas / Holidays
Colour Crazy Craft Challenge - A/G
CRAFT - Christmas
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas extra - Anything Christmas
As you like it - favourite Christmas colour combo - for me the image really tends to dictate the colour I choose to use, but if I'm receiving a card I do love a more contemporary palette, especially with purple or lilac!

I'm hoping to get to the Craft show at Excel tomorrow - perhaps it will boost my Christmas spirit??

    Hi Jacky! Great to see you in the playground again! What a lovely card - she's a real darling :) Wonderful stamp!

    Mrs A and I were given tickets for Excel but I had to cry off due to my wretched back, sigh. Would have been great to meet up!
