I have made another Christmas card (no surprise there then) and as the colder weather has arrived I thought we all needed to wrap up and keep cosy and warm so:
what better way than with a nice pair of warm mittens!! The rubber stamp is by Unity I get a stamp every week from them which comes with a sentiment although I have not used the one that came with it. I have coloured it with Copics and it has been cut and matted using SB dies. The papers are October Afternoon from the "Holiday Style" pad. The ribbon is Martha Stewart I got on holiday. I coloured some card candy to match. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and has been stamped on a SB label die and then cut. The snowflakes are SB and MS. I am quite annoyed because I bought the MS punch and stamp snowflake on holiday and I think I have thrown away the instuctions and I can't for the life of me figure out how to work it!! I think I will have to look on You Tube or MS site. I have followed the sketch over on Sketch Saturday again, for those of you who have never used a sketch you should try them it makes everything a whole lot easier I think!
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments - Bingo I have used the line Happy, die cuts and snow (I have 3 snowflakes, hope that counts)
Crafts and Me - Ribbon or Trim
The Paper Shelter - Christmas is Coming
Well I hope you all have a fab weekend whatever you are doing. I will be back tomorrow with my card for Card Makin' Mamas challenge, til then take care xx

Its lovely - I cant seem to get in the swing and start my Christmas cards yet (made loads of tags last year though so if I need to I will just mount them onto cards! its probably that safety net that not pushing me to not get started!) - I admire how many you are doing though. Think I might have the MS punch if its the snowflake one? I can check if I have the instructions somewhere if you need.
