I went cyber shopping this morning and came across this total "must have" Digi Stamp from Sketching Stamper (Only 99p).I think she is absolutely stunning!!

My first card is for "White Christmas" at DCM, "Glitter" for Cuttlebug Challenges, "Winter" for The Cuttlebug Spot , "Non Traditional Christmas" for A Spoonful of Sugar. I've used this weeks sketch from Papertake Weekly.

Ok I know this ones a bit loose but I am requesting a little artistic Licence for this one......Now I know there isn't a Fairy Tale called The Snow Fairy but I do believe there to be an Ice Princess and this was about as close as I could manage for Bubbly Scrumptious.

Next is for Rosie Dee "Red & Green with some Bling" & #16 from Get Sketchy.

Next is for #79 at Sketch Saturday , "Buttons" for Allsorts, "Stitching" for Everybody Art & The Pixie Cottage.

And finally for "Winter pals" at My Time To Craft using this weeks sketch from Beth at Penny Black Friends .
