Candy Cane Perch

Hi,

Life seems to be slowly getting back to normal (well whatever normal is with a 4 year old boy !!) - everybody seemed to enjoy the party and their party bags ( i don't do plastic toot and rubbish, so i gave each child a 'Snail and The Whale'  activity books - another book by The Gruffalo author),  son also got some very nice presents.  All his friends seem to be into pirates, so i will have to scout round for a suitable image, as i have some Karen Foster papers already !!!

Sorry my first Christmas Card for 2011. I bought todays image just before Xmas, when The Glitter Pot had it for half price - i originally wanted the stamp with the bear pulling a tree, but when son saw this he decided mummy should buy it and to stop him from creating i bought it and now i'm really pleased i did.  The punch is also new, but the papers and ribbon i've had for ages, as the papers look vintage, i also decided to distress them.

Right onto todays Card and Challenges :

Basic Grey Challenges - where Challenge No: 35 is 'Dots and Spots'

Winter Wonderland - where the Challenge is 'Let's Go Dotty'

ABC Christmas Challenge  - where 'A is for Anything'

Sweet Stop Sketches - where SSS90 is another fabby sketch

Image - Penny Black - 'Candy Cane Perch'
Papers - Basic Grey - 'Figgy Pudding'
Punched Holly - Martha Stewart
Distressed Image - Tim Holtz - 'Aged Mahogany'
Ribbon from stash

Thanks for looking, Luv Sam x
