This week's challenge is sponsored by Crafters Companion and I am sure you all have Xmas cards you can submit this week! Go take a look at the other gorgeous DT cards on the blog here.
Now I need some advice from you! How on earth can I fix it so that the glitter stays put?!!! It's driving me nuts, it's everywhere! Now don't laugh, but I sprayed some hairspray on it and it helped a bit, but there must be something out there that can help - advice strongly appreciated! Anyone with a fix for this will get some blog candy from me!

This is yummy enough to eat! Such a cheerful Christmas card!
ooh what a yummy looking gingerbread man!! Fab card Mary J! Well done on meeting Lisa's challenge.
As for the glitter, I always wipe my card first with the little anti static bag thingy and then leave the glitter to sit for a while to "set" before I shake it off. Seems to work great for the card but does nothing to stop the glitter from ending up all over my craftroom ;-D

Hi Mary, this is just so adorable. You have certainly made the orange work beautifully and the colour you used with it works so well. I love your faux stitching too. Gorgeous card!!
Oh Mary how SWEET!
Gorgeous card Mary J. That gingerbread man is adorable and the orange looks very pretty!
Love your gingerbread man! Such a cheery card!
As for the glitter... Have you tried spray fixative (the kind that artists use to fix e.g. charcoal drawings)? Glitter might be a bit too heavy for the fixative to hold but it's worth the try (and it's surely kinder to your paper than hairspray! ;) ). Hope you find a solution for your glitter problem! :)
Love the gingerbread man - you caught him! :D
What a cheerful card; love the colors you've used!
