Yikes!

Good Morning lovely friends.

We have a new challenge starting today at

ABC Christmas Challenge

This is our last challenge of the year and it is 

Y for Yikes 

Z for Zoom

You can interpret this any way you like but you must make a Christmas Card!

Some changes have been made to the way our monthly challenge runs and you can find all the details 

HERE

Our fabulous Sponsor this time is 

The East Wind

with free digi's for the lucky winner

For my card I choose Z for Zoom (and possibly Y for Yikes judging by the way that little pingu is wobbling on his skates)!

I was asked to make some cards for Simply Cards and Papercraft recently and was lucky enough to discover Lia Stampz

My card is made with lots of gorgeous digi's merged together to create a scene.

soooo cute!

The ground was W's

Hope that helps /:
