I'm not going to tell you where they are, so you'll just have to keep on hopping to find them!

 
For my blog hop creation I used the sweet new image Valerie's Gift illustrated by Crissy Armstrong. This image is perfect for a Christmas or Birthday card. I of course, needing more Christmas cards, created another holiday themed one.

I've used these festive Bo Bunny Tis the Season papers and have stitched the edges on the sewing machine. The image was stamped in Memento ink and then colored with Copics. I also added some little white gel pen dots for falling snow and then some flocking to her fur trimmed coat. Lastly, I embellished with lots of snowflakes using the Spellbinders Snowflake dies and Martha Stewart punches, and gems and a sentiment from the Winter Letter Seals set.

This card fits the challenges at:
A Spoonful Of Sugar - Christmas
Creative Card Crew - anything goes
Paper Take Weekly - Christmas in non-traditional colors
Craft Your Passion - anything goes
Paper Playtime -snowflakes
There She Goes - bling
Crafty Pad - anything goes
Wags 'n Whiskers - snowflakes
AiFactory - winter
Creative Cottage - untraditional Christmas colors
