~~ Winter Wonderland Tribute ~~

Hi everyone,

I'm back and what a shock coming  home from our lovely holiday in 28°C Aruba

to experience the Polar Vortex causing record breaking cold weather in southern Canada.
 It's indoors for me until this cold front passes.

Today's challenge at Winter Wonderland is a tribute to our former owner Eileen
 who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
This Challenges is a way of remembering her
and to show our appreciation for all she did for us here at 

Winter Wonderland Challenge

This month's theme is :ANYTHING CHRISTMAS GOES

We are sponsored by the wonderful 

Dr. Digi House of Stamps 

offering the winner a prize of 2 digi's of their choice.

I have used a coloured digi called Simply Santa Colour

available here in the shop.

Details:
DP - StampinUp

Trees - MFT
Sentiment - Michaels

~~ Cutie Pie Challenge #131

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well.

Today starts the first challenge of the year at 

The Cutie Pie Challenge #131

I've had this cute Spring Zebra digi for a few years and decided it was time to colour it up.

I loved making it clean and simple...no design paper or elements to 

distract from the image.  The sentiment was printed using Word.
Digital image is by Crissy Armstrong at Whimsy Stamps.
