The Paper Shelter Challenge #180 Is it too early for Christmas?

Veronica has been bringing out so many gorgeous new winter/Christmas digi at the minute and I am so glad this challenge is perfect for them! This week at The Paper Shelter, we would like you to make a Christmas card/project. I know I am going to need lots of Christmas cards again this year, so it's always handy to make an early start (but I will probably still be making them the last few days of the season too!).

I used the gorgeous Holy Night, which is one of the latest releases. Isn't she gorgeous and the reindeer is cute too! I added some snow writer for the snow on the ground and some little flowers in the corners to act as poinsettias. I don't actually have any poinsettias dies and only 1 stamps, which was too big for what I wanted. Thinking about it now, I should have used my Silhouette Portrait to cut some out, but it just didn't occur to me at the time!

Anyway here she is....I printed her a bit smaller than I usually do and whilst it made her a bit harder to colour, I like the smaller size (sometimes!).
