ABC Christmas Challenge - Q is for...

It's Samantha's turn to set the theme for the ABC Christmas Challenge this fortnight...and she has chosen:

'Q is for Quick & Easy'

And she's designed a fab sketch for you to use...with the optional extra to make more than one card...it's not compulsory, but it's a simple sketch, so it's easy to get a production line going.

Our sponsor for this challenge is our very own Lacey...who has very generously donated a $20 gift certificate for her Stamp and Create store.

For my card, I decided not to use a stamped image...I thought it would make it even more 'quick & easy' to use a die cut instead. The snowflakes were cut using the Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die, which I then gave a generous coating of Glamour Dust. I used my Cuttlebug 'Snowflakes' and 'Snow Dots' folder for the embossed background, and added a few adhesive gems for more sparkle.

Here's a close-up showing a bit more sparkle:

I'm going to enter these cards into the following challenges:

• Christmas Cards All Year Round August - 'Snowflakes'
• Our Creative Corner - 'Embossing'

Thank you for all of your birthday wishes yesterday...I'll be back later to say a proper thank you for my lovely cards and gifts from my blogging friends :0)
