ABC Christmas Challenge - C & D

It's the first Wednesday of the month, so that means a new ABC Christmas Challenge. Wilma's our host, and the themes are -

'C for Candy'

  and 

'D for Decorations' 

Wilma's offering two prizes for two lucky winners

I've combined both challenges with my card. I found quite a few candy images on my House-Mouse CD and finally went with this cutie. I have a confession to make. I love House-Mouse images and I'm mainly a stamper, but I really don't enjoy colouring House-Mouse stamps so this CD is just perfect for me. I just thought I'd better point that out in case someone believed I'd done an amazing job at colouring this image.

ABC Christmas Challenge - J & K

Time for another challenge over at the ABC Christmas Challenge, and our host is Dorte. This month the themes are -  

'J for Joy'

  and 

'K for Keep It Simple' 

Our sponsors this month are -

Crafty Ribbons
 

the prize is a £10 voucher

and

DigiStamp Boutique

the prize is a £10 voucher


There's also a prize from Dorte for another lucky winner.

I've combined both themes this month. I've recently realised I don't have any stamps with the word "Joy" on them, so as the image is from a CD (unusual for me) it was easy enough to add a sentiment onto it before printing.

'E for Emboss'
 'F for Frills'

Our sponsor this month is -

  
Wild Orchid Crafts

and the prize is a £20 voucher

There's also a prize on offer from Carol
