CES Challenge meets Whiff of Joy DT for a Christmas themed challenge...

Good Morning Everyone! I cannot believe it is the weekend already, I am so glad it has arrived although I am not feeling very well today. I am still in bed which is very unusual for me at this time!
Saturday is CES Challenge day and the theme this week chosen by Emma is Christmas. It does seem strange making Christmas cards before I have even been on my Summer holiday but I always struggle making enough cards so I guess this may push me to be a bit more organised!

I used non Christmas themed papers to make my card. They are all by Echo Park and the kraft paper is from my stash and I embossed it with a snowflake folder which is still one of my favourites in my stash.
The adorable image stamp is by Whiff of Joy and can be found here and the sentiment is from this set.
I punched a strip of green card and wrapped it with gingham bias binding and twine from the Ribbon girl and then tied on a sentiment cut into a banner shape before adding a line of gems and my little image on top.
The snowflake is a Spellbinders shape cut from acetate and glittered with glitter glue after I had added it to the card with a pearl in the centre. I also added some glitter to the candy cane.
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge for the chance to win a £10 voucher (exc P&P) to spend over at Crafty Emma's Store.
