All Wrapped Up

Hi,

I'm going to keep todays post short and sweet, as i'm finding it difficult to type as both my index fingers are swollen and my wrists hurt - off to see 'Quack' tomorrow to see if she can find a solution - she'll probably say it's a knock on effect of my knee !!!

I won this image ages ago and yet i don't stamp her up very often, but i thought she would be ideal for a 'Winter' challenge, as she looks snug as a bug in her coat and muffler - i've used for the first time my fabby Bo Bunny papers and Memory Box Snowflake Corner (i'd never heard of them, till my friend Janice mentioned them and now i can't get enough of them), the snowflakes are a mixture of dies and punches and to finish off i've added some gems and ribbon.
