What do you mean.....

Santa has enough reindeer?  I just love this sentiment and the adorable image that goes with it.  Sadly, this is the last challenge at CHNC Extra.  I've been on the DT since the beginning and will miss this challenge.  Since it is the last challenge, please join us with your christmas makes (not necessarily a card) and send it off with a successful month.

The challenge is sponsored as usual by Bugaboo Stamps.

The image and sentiment that I chose to use for this card is Puppy - Enough Reindeer.

I also used a christmas paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  I used some glitter cardstock and some dome stickers.

Merry Christmas

It is time for some mid-month inspiration at CHNC Extra.  I have used an image and sentiment from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps called JJ Xmas Cheer - Merry Christmas.

I have also used a digital paper from Bugaboo Stamps from a set called Frosty (which I think may be now retired as I couldn't find it in the store).  The candy cane paper is from a christmas paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio.  I also added some grosgrain ribbon and some red gems.  Colouring is with copic markers and matting is pearlescent paper.

The papers are from christmas paper pads.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is called Winter Kidz with Cat 2 and is coloured with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.
