I hope those of you with snow are keeping warm and safe - we were supposed to be going up to Alan's dads in West Yorkshire at the weekend, but we have decided against it, as he say's the main road has 10 foot snow drifts. It was parent's evening and reports home last week and according to H's teacher, he is an A star pupil and a pleasure to teach - he must get his brains from Alan, as it sure isn't me :-) .
Today's colours and embellishments are a little different for me - the papers are Bo Bunny - 'Snowfall Collection', the die i used for the poinsettas is 'Marianne D' - one flowers were cut with a furry card, i bought ages ago, i think to make dogs ears !! the leaves and centre is Doodlebug - 'Bon Bon Chenille Crushed Velvet Cardstock', the ribbon is velvet from 'Dovecraft', Sentiment - PB - 'Crystalline', Gems - Papermania 'Mosaics'.
Today's Card And Challenges Are :
Sparkles Christmas Challenges - where Challenge No: 26 is 'A Recipe - 3 Flowers - check / poinsettas. 2 gems - check, 1 image - check.
Christmas At Sweet Stampin' - where Challenge No: 4 is 'No Red Or Green'

Nice work Sam. Hope you enjoyed decoupage as much as I did! Love the browns you've used, as you say, a bit different, Those flowers are also fab. Probably wise postponing your trip north, this snow doesn't want to shift fast. Glad to hear H getting on well at school, you can't ask for more. Jx
