Forever Friends Monthly Challenge - Christmas

Hi Everyone

Well we've finally reached December and we even had snow yesterday morning! Needless to say the trains were up the creek and I was late for work, but it didn't last long luckily. Plus for the last two nights we have had power cuts at home - far too cold for that and it really plays havoc with my Crafting (and dinner)!

Now back to the new challenge at Forever Friends and as we are now approaching the festive season  the theme is of course Christmas. We have two sponsors for this challenge:-



and
Meljen's Designs :: Digital Stamps by Melissa Jenkins
For more details for the prizes for the winners of the challenge and to enter pop over to the Forever Friends challenge blog.
I've made two cards for this challenge - one using an image from Meljens and also a Forever Friends card and here they are:-



I hope you like them both  - all comments and suggestions are welcome! Don't forget to enter the Christmas card challenge at Forever Friends.
