December - Winter Sparkle

Good morning to you all, here we are in December which seems to have arrived all too quickly so I had better tell you all about our new theme...............

********Winter Sparkle********

We wonder how you will interpret this one? It can be those last minute Christmas cards, Winter Birthday's and so many other occasions, all we ask is that there is some sparkle on your creations and of course stamping as we are a stamping challenge so must see a stamped image which reflects the theme as the focal element of your artwork , this means:

Stamping must be the central point of attention and interest
