Art by MiRan Facebook Challenge #2 for December Anything Goes

Good evening everyone. I hope you've had a good week. I have now broken up for the school holidays and have about 2 weeks off work! Yay! More time for crafting! Love being a teacher at times like this!

Anyway today is the start of the final Art by MiRan Facebook Fan Group Challenge for the month and the year. When we return in the new year we have some fantastic, exciting changes planned for our Facebook challenges, so I hope you'll all join us then too. This fortnight as our second challenge of the month always is, is an Anything Goes challenge.

I chose to make another Christmas card - this time all in purples for my best friend Michele, whose favourite colour is....purple! I used the gorgeous Suzie Snowflakes, which is a stamp designed by Mi Ran for Treasured Times. She has a fantastic range there in rubber stamp form as well as at Whimsy Stamps and then the digi range at the Art by MiRan Etsy store too.

And here she is. I made a huge A4 sized side step card and although it was fiddly at first to get all the folds in the right place, I love it! Think it works so well in this size!

I'm also entering this card into A Random Fan's Challenge #21 Anything Goes, Creative Inspirations Challenge #294 Christmas/New Year, Deep Ocean Challenge #93 Christmas is All Around, Papertake Weekly's Last Christmas Challenge and Crafty Sentiments Winter Challenge.
