Oh so cosy together

Phew, here I am at last with my DT card. I spent the day at a craft fair, which was busy and I sold several cards so well worth going. Did some great networking too. Got home, put stuff away, sat down for half an hour then off to the nurse for a check up on cholesterol, blood pressure etc. Hubby thought it would be good if we both had them checked. All fine, my cholesterol was very good, only 3.7. His is a little high at 6.4 so has to try to lower that. The off to Sainsburys for the food shopping so finally a chance to post my card.

Over at Winter Wonderland this week we are now beginning Christmas only challenges and we are easing you in by asking you to make a Christmas card. Easy, peasy. We are pleased to be sponsored by Crafty Emma who is giving away a gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp.

I bought this cute digi along with some rubber stamps from Sugar Nellie just after Christmas. I think is such an adorable image which I have coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I've used Papermania Percy and Penelope papers and tag, Marianne die cut snowflakes and icicle border and added a silver snowflake charm from Hooked on Krafts.

Challenges:
ABC Christmas C is for Charming
For Fun I love snow
Simon Says Tag it
Sugar Bowl Love this sketch
Crafty Catz Favourite things (Christmas, Sugar Nellie, die cuts, punches, snowflakes, glitter card, Promarkers)
Sarah Hurley Die cuts
Forever Friends Shades of blue

I feel all behind with my commenting now so will try to catch up at the weekend.
