Keep calm and hug a reindeer...

Happy last Monday before Christmas lovely friends!

 I'm here today with even more reindeer love!

Imagine how happy I was when I was paying a visit to 

Dies To Die For

from the comfort of my armchair and I found the most adorable reindeer!

(yep ANOTHER one)!

This little one has to be one of my favourites so far!

so...with less than a week to go until the big day...

keep calm and hug a reindeer!

Naughty or Nice...

Good morning lovely friends...

I know you all are so happy with my little calendar reminders that I just can't resist reminding you that it is the big day in exactly two weeks time! (-:

I really love making Christmas cards, I make them all year round.  

However, I am extra happy with today's card, I loved colouring this wonderful image and I am over the moon with the end result.

I coloured this gorgeous girl - 

Little Miss Muffet Stamps Polka Dot Pals Alpini

with Copics and then sat her on a snowy Kraft background with some scrummy MFT stripey paper.  The sentiment is also from MFT.

Beautiful Alpini - she definitely deserves to be on the nice list!
