Starting to get in the Christmas spirit

I have now started my Christmas shopping and almost finished for everyone except for my OH, so am feeling a bit more Christmassy too.

This first card is for Just Add Ink's Challenge #145 for the sketch, Cupcake Crafts Challenge #219 to use paper pleating (my Soft Sky DSP is pleated) and Color Throwdown's Challenge #219 to use these fab colours and I did opt to use silver instead of Basic Gray - just went better on a Christmas card.

And here's my card.

My next card is for Viva La Verve's Sketch #4 for November and F4A144 to use glitter - nice and easy one! I just love this cute little Santa's Helper, which I actually won as a prize from Verve about this time last year!
