Make it Monday sponsored by Craft Emma's Store!

It's Monday!  BOO, I have to go to work...  But YAY, it's the start of a new Make It Monday linky party!  This is a rather long post as we have lots to share this week so get yourself a cuppa!  

First, here is my card using the new Fizzy Moon Snow (you can get it in Crafty Emma's Store here)...

 
 

Fabulous blog mate Sally of Scallywags fame has got me addicted to this little fella!!  He was such a pleasure to colour in, here's a close up so you can see the touches of Glamour Dust that I added to the snow and the embossed snowflakes that Crafty Emma sells here.



This week we are sponsored by the wonderful Emma at
