I've used one of the images from the new unmounted House Mouse stamps sets that can be bought at the Simon Says Stamp Store HERE  and coloured it with Copics and the edges are glittered with with Star Dust stickles.
The papers are Basic Grey and from the Two Scoops pad apart from the blue snowflake one which I found in my bit box. The snowflakes are cut with Spellbinders Create a flake and a Cuttlebug snowflake die. The ribbon and pearls are both from my stash.

If you've hopped her from Marcea 
you're on the right path



my letter is




and now you need to hop along to Christine




Now for my candy - the wonderful Heidi at Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a fabulous Basic Grey Cappella pad (defineitely my favourite of all time) which you can see HERE -  call  back here and leave me a direct link to your card with the blue frog. You have until Wednesday 15th September to link your creation ( 4pm CET)
