Completely Christmas - Add One Snowflake
http://suzysmarty1.blogspot.co.nz/2015/02/7-february-challenge-49-atg-with-twist.html

I have used a glitter cardstock from American Crafts as the background.  I embossed some white cardstcok using a snowflake embossing folder.  The image is Queen Elsa from Sassy Studio Designs.  I added some peach to her lips and hair plus used skin tone - otherwise she is all white.  I used some Stickles to added a bit of glamour to her dress.  The die I have used for the image is from Marianne's Designs.  I also used a die from a magazine to cut a snowflake from the glitter cardstock and added some pearls to the holes in the die-cut and to the centre of the snowflake.

Colourful Christmas Tree

I'm gradually joining back in with challenges after all the internet issues (and then the digital camera issues!).  I'm glad I was able to do this one as I love working with sketches:

Tainted Love

I always like to try and create with any freebies that I receive related to challenges.  This one was a bit touch and go as to whether I would complete it in time!

I just can't stop thinking about you
