Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well. We have a new challenge at CRAFT Challenge and this week it's our regular Christmas theme. Our wonderful sponsors are: Rick St Dennis DRSDesigns I have used a Rick St Dennis image, Buddy, who sadly seems to be discontinued. I made him into a Christmas image by using red and green for his clothes, and adding glitter to the apple he's holding. The die-cuts are Spellbinders Holly Accents . The stickers and papers are from stash. Thanks for looking! love Mags B x

Our great sponsors are Bugaboo Stamps and Oddball Stamps I used a fun Santa image from Bugaboo, Santa Stockings The papers and baker's twine are from stash, and I layered everything on red card and then silver to give some festive bling. Santa's fur trim has been glittered and his boots made shiny with Glossy Accents. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Christmas Sampler set.
