Hello peeps!
I really must get a wriggle on with my Christmas cards -
I made a list this week and scared myself at how many I have to make!
That's why this week's challenge, chosen by Jenny
at the CES Challenge Blog is just perfect for me.

That's why this week's challenge, chosen by Jenny
at the CES Challenge Blog is just perfect for me.
The theme is SEEING RED
Now, you don't have to go down the Christmas route,
but please make sure that red is the main colour of your card/project.I started with a 6 x 6 On the Edge card, matted and covered with Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas DP.
I used a couple of stamps to create a little snow scene - paper-piecing some parts of the bear, colouring the rest with Copics and adding a sprinkling of my favourite Glamour Dust.
I don't have one of those fancy 'punch around the page' punches, so for my frame I used a Fiskars border punch, cutting the corners as best I could, and covering the joins with Card Candi, a Catslife Press stamp and a bow.
Lots of my supplies came from Crafty Emma's. Just click on the links to be taken to the store.
