Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Such a bright and sunny Sunday morning, we're off for a walk with the boys in a bit , got to the park and feed the ducks.

Anyway, here's my card for today:



It's for the following challenges:


I love this sketch, think I'll be using this to make a few Christmas cards. The digi image is Alexa Dancing Queen from The Digi Stamp Boutique - isn't she fun? I teamed her up with a Christmas tree rubber stamp from CC Designs winter kit. The tree is paper pieced with some digi papers, I think from Mad About Cards. The baubles are glitter gems, coloured with Copics to match the image.

Alexa is shaded with Copics, I thought she'd look cute hanging baubles on the tree whilst singing Christmas songs to herself - a bit like me at Christmas only I look nothing like her!! The two background papers are from Lili of the Valley, I picked them up at the NEC a few years ago and it's nice to use them. I printed the sentiment on the PC and cut out using star Nestabilities.

Yes folks my new Cuttlebug has arrived - woo-hoo!!! Aren't Provocraft amazing, less than two weeks to let them know mine was broken and a new one shipped from America, including plates and dies too. Will be sending a huge thank you letter.

Sorry to Gracie and Dotty Jo, I said I'd post my awards today and I haven't - I promise I will do in the next few days.
