ABC Christmas Challenge - A is for Anything Christmas

Hi Crafters,

Thanks for all your kind words both here and on Facebook regarding my computer issues recently. It meant getting a new PC in the end which should arrive soon, then the fun begins getting used to a new system and loading all my files that I managed to retrieve. Wish me luck :/

Well a new year and a new challenge at the ABC Christmas  blog.

We start our year off again with the letter A and a nice easy challenge for you of 'Anything Christmas'.

I'm using this sweet image from our sponsor Sami Stamps called Curious Gift.

As she's sporting her Christmas sweater I thought she'd like to have some shimmery eye shadow to match so I used my Wink of Stella clear pen over my marker colours. I'm amazed that I managed to capture it on the photo this time, usually it doesn't show up at all.  I also added a little glamour dust to the snowflake pattern on her sweater too.

I hope you all have a fabulous Friday, I'm off now to set up my stall at the local Farmers Market
for our last market of this year and will add my challenges on my return.

See you soon,

Lorraine
