We have a fun challenge over at Incy Wincy and this will be our last one until the 4th January.

Sadly, I haven't even had time to make Christmas cards for myself this year. The few I will be posting up will be the ones I've created for the magazines and Incy Wincy.

Talking of Incy Wincy, we have a lovely Winter Wonderland theme for this week's challenge. Our fab sponsor is Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet!
