Little Gifts

At ABC Christmas Challenges this week is L - for Little Gifts,  I have made an easel card. The papers are from a Fizzy Moon Christmas pad (2013). The stamp is the adorable Penguin Presents, greetings and tags are by LOTV, I coloured  the penquin with Aquamarkers, I'm leaning towards those at present. The additional small Christmas parcels have been 'borrowed' from my Dolls House Christmas store room.
I am also entering this card into the following;-
Sparkles Monthly Christmas - challenge is Your Favourite Combo - Mine is Blue and White.
Christmas Stamping All Year Long - Ribbon and Trims, - hoping my parcels will be accepted, they all have ribbons.

Sketch - My 31st. Christmas Card

 It's the beginning of the month, so it is Sketch time at 52 Christmas  Challenge Throwdown - the sketch is below, please pop over to the blog to see the wonderful creations from the Design Team. For my card, I decided to go with some lovely designer paper for the background. One of my favourite stamps - Fun  Stamps - Lyndsay Mason - Skiing Penguin. I added a few punched snowflakes, with crystal gems.

I am also entering this, my 31st Christmas Card ready for 2014, please check out my annual count tab, into the following challenges.

Bare Essentials

ABC Christmas Challenges are asking for B - Bare Essentials,  simply to withhold the usual amount of embellishments and to keep the card as bare as possible. It did feel strange not adding anymore to this card.
