AAAAGGGGHHHHHH only 40 days to Christmas!!!!

I've made this card using blue and white paper and and an image from Pink Gem Designs and I am entering it into the A Gem of a Challenge #34. and the backing paper is from the Paper Christmas kit from CA.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and snowflakes punched with a MS punch, sentiment from Craftworks.

If you look closely you will notice the blue and white card actually has butterflies on it but as I couldn't be bothered to change my glasses to the ones I use for close work I thought they were funky snowflakes, it wasn't until I was sticking it all together I noticed but hey ho I'm sticking to funky snowflakes if anyone asks.  I'm also trying to decorate the inside of my cards as well as using inserts.

Off to do some altering now, I'm helping out with the costumes for the Panto my daughter's in in December.  Yeah more pictures to scrap.  Have a great week and think Happy Thoughts.

This is a Pink Gem which was a freebie but can now be bought in the Pink Gem Designs shop, which I coloured with my Promarkers.  I used Creative Cottage digi papers, I chose quite plain papers as I wanted the pastel colours to shine through.  I used a ribbon (which the very talented Leann, very kindly donated to a very good home) on top on my new MS border punch (I spent far too much on something I could live without but hey I loved these punches and I could do with not eating for a month or two or three).  I coloured my card candy with my Promarkers too.
