I love love love this stamp....don't you!!  I had so much funny colouring this image up using Polychromos coloured pencils.  I wanted to make this a very fancy card.  The designer paper is from the Echo Park - Wise Men Still Seek Him and Twas The Night Before Christmas paper pads.  Dies used are Spellbinders - Victoria Corners and Marvelous Squares.  I added a few doilies a bit of ribbon and lace and finished it off with a few rolled roses and white pearls.  I also used liquid applique on the hats to give it a fur look.
I hope you are enjoying this months release so far...don't forget to check out tomorrow!!  Thanks for stopping!

Hi there!!  For this months challenge I found a tutorial on Pinterest to make a "Box In A Bag".  This was so much fun to do, and very simple.  I've used one of the stamps from the stamp set Troll Trouble.  The paper is from K And Company.  I used the MS Doily punch to make the doily around the image and for the decorations on both the top and bottom of the bag.  I finished it off with some flowers and used twine to close the bag.  This bag is big enough for a small gift, or a sweet treat!  I hope you'll give it a try!

Have a great week, and I hope you'll play along with us this month!
