Christmas at Charisma

'Anything that can go wrong will go wrong'...this is Murphy's Law, and I think I need to send him packing!  Since last Friday, I've been huddled under extra layers of clothing and staying close to electric heaters, as my furnace bit the dust.  Thankfully that happened before the extreme cold set in, and as of yesterday.....I have heat again and a new furnace!!!   So Merry Christmas everyone, and CHRISTMAS is the theme this week at Charisma!  Be sure to check out all the amazing cards from the DT, and hopefully we'll be checking out your challenge creations too.



You will notice that I've used some really warm colours here!   Quite a simple layout and the image was such fun to colour with my copics.  

Supplies used:
Bugaboo image - Ava and Deacon Merry Christmas Sign
Papers from MME - 12 Days of Christmas
Martha Stewart - Crown border punch and Fir Branch

And now for our wonderful sponsors:

Prize One
