ABC Christmas Challenge - A is for...

Before I get on to our first ABC Christmas Challenge of 2011...I have a little bit of house-keeping...for our last challenge & blog hop, there was some candy hidden on my blog...which means I have a winner to announce. I picked the winner using Random.Org from the comments left on my challege post:


#52 - Katarina

Congratulations! Please contact me at helenbrammer@hotmail.com with your address by Monday 17th January, so that I can get your prize in the post!

Ok, so on to our new challenge...we know that you may be thinking that it's a little early to be starting on this year's cards...but we believe it's never too early, and to help you get a head start, we've made it a nice easy theme for you:

'A is for Anything Christmas'


We are sponsored for this challenge by our lovely regular sponsor:

 Photobucket


And the prize is a $15 shopping spree in their store!


I've used an adorable Stamp Fairy digi stamp on my card of Al the penguin...that I won with one of the items I made for our last challenge :0)
I coloured him with watercolour pencils, and added Glamour Dust to the snow, and around the edges of the lacey scallops. The papers are new...from the My Mind's Eye 'Countdown to Christmas' pad...they're all gorgeous and glittery! The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp, and the ribbon is from Poppicrafts.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
