North Pole Christmas

Hello again,

Well in the last week of October I entered the Crafting by Design Monthly Christmas Challenge with some tags I had made which you can see here.

My tag project was chosen as one of their Saturday Spotlights and I was offered my first place in a Guest Design Team, can you see the smiley glow? I was offered two choices of challenges to be a Guest Designer and chose to participate in: 

Here come the Holidays Challenge

The lovely ladies of the Design Team have created some wonderful cards and projects as inspiration and we hope you will join in the challenge, there are some lovely prizes to be won from three fabulous sponsors,

you can add any project for whatever holiday

Since this is our last challenge this year,
we're super excited to have 3 sponsors and loads
of inspiration projects from our Design Team and
Guest Designers.  

I made this easel card as my project:
