Contemporary Christmas over at the Cupcake Craftroom monthly challenge!

It's a new month which means a new challenge over at the Cupcake Craftroom monthly challenge!  And this month we have a challenge to help you get those many, many, many Christmas cards made!  So this month our theme is...


Sweet Christmas!

You can interpret this however you like...a sweet/cute image, a sweet sentiment, a sweet embellishment, Christmas sweeties...it's up to you! I went for this uber uber sweet image called Hattie and Buddy by the DigiStamp Boutique...

 
 


I used the new November release digi paper collection by Cupcake Cards & Crafts called Contemporary Christmas that you can find in the new products section here.  The papers are absolutely gorgeous and also includes a set of Christmas sentiments.  There are swirls and mini stars and wonderful texture solid colour digi papers which you can see better in this shot here...



There will be one winner personally chosen on merit as usual for this month's challenge who will receive the 'Contemporary Christmas' paper collection. (Pictured below).



I hope you can play along with us this month - you don't need to use Cupcake Cards & Crafts goodies but of course we love it when you do!  Check out the rest of the DT makes at the challenge blog using these gorgeous digi paper collection here!  Or click here if you'd like to buy it!


I am entering this card into the following challenges:
