Paper sundaes DT card

Hello all you sundae bloggers and once again my scheduled post. Today's challenge over at Paper Sundaes is "Adorn those Corners". What we want to see is those corners of your image adorn with gems, pearls, brads, eyelets...whatever you like as long as it's the corners of your image. Our sponsor this week is the fantastic Simon Says Stamp who have masses of products available online...so check it out!! For my card I have used Whiff of Joy - Wee and Tree and coloured with promarkers...I still don't have a huge range of promarkers yet but I think I had enough that matched this card. The papers are Bo Bunny - Winter Joy, I punched the snowflakes from Martha Stewart punches and the tiny tags are punched and stamped from Stampin' Up - tiny tag set....I added some jewels and stickles to finish off.

Merry Christmas...

Well I survived the sleepover...just!!.. They all went to sleep around 3amand then were wakened up at 9am...what is all that about?? So the bathroom routine started...which took forever, then breakfast and then we hit the winter Wonderland in town...it was baltic!! They had a ball at the ice skating...it was so funny watching all those parents with the really small children and them trying their hardest not to fall. Holly didn't want me to go on the ice cos she didn't want me showing off in front of her pals..me being the sporty person that I used to be...I can skate really good...well forwards and backwards but I can't do any jumps. My mum used to be a speed skater and she first took me skating when I was 4 years old and I learned to skate with all the fast skaters....I can still skate really fast!! I remember being at a school camp in 2nd year and we went skating and I had never told anybody I could skate...fast...that was funny, all my schools mates were just standing there with their mouths open saying OMG!! Anyway back to the card...I have used papers from October Afternoon, the image is from CC Designs and I coloured her with copics, stamped the message and then added glitter to finish off. I have entered the following challenges.

The Sweet Shop - sketch
Sweet Stampin' - buttons and bows
2 sisters - non traditional
Crazy 4 Challenges - script
Crafty Catz - christmas
Simon Says Stamp - let it snow
Crafty Creations - christmas
Digital Tuesday - let it snow
