Christmas Cutest Critters

Hi all,

Just one more sneaky post just before Christmas, as I left the most important Christmas card a little late, the one for my dear hubby. Last year, I totally forgot to make him a card, so this year I wanted to make him a special card. Not too frilly, he is a guy after all, but cute nonetheless. I was scanning through my digis and this one jumped out at me. I hope he likes it!

Materials:
* Bugaboo Little Penguin Winter - Winter Bench digi, coloured with Promarkers & Spectrum Noirs
* LeCreaDesign Home & Family Lilac DP
* DCWV The Glitter Cardstock Stack Brights
* Cart-Us Vintage Postage stamp sentiment
* Black & Green Ink
* Digital Delights Christmas Sentiment Set
* Gems from stash

Well, I'm pretty sure that's it from me until the new year, plenty of baking and cooking to do and not much time in the crafty room I reckon. Anyway, I wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. I have been fortunate enough to be at the receiving end of your lovely comments for another year, which have all been very much appreciated. Thank you very much for spending some of your precious time on my little corner is the blogosphere and I hope you will continue to do so for a little while longer :)

Challenges:
* Avadares (Anything with a Digi)
* Natalie & Amy (Winter Wishes)
* Hooked on Craft (Christmas)
* Visible Image (Christmas)
* Cards Galore (Christmas)
* Ladybug Crafts (Christmas/Winter)
* Emerald Fairies (Christmas)
