It's Christmas Time - Addicted To Stamps DT Card & Candy Reminder

Hello peeps,
I have at last found time to write my Christmas cards, I had a bit of a shock though as I thought I had done well this year but I still need another 20 + and there is no way I am going to manage that before this Christmas so it looks like I'll be committing the crime of buying cards, gasp, lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this fortnight our challenge is

 I have at last inked up one of my Christmas LOTV's and I love these even though they are badly neglected, I can't help it I just keep being drawn to those gorgeous Magnolia's like a pin to a magnet lol.

Ingredients -
Image - Lilli Of The Valley
Medium - Copics
Papers - My Minds Eye, Holly Jolly (or it could be Jolly Holly lol)

Sparkle - crystal glamour dust

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Card Makin' Mamas - Christmas, Crafty Ann's - tic, tack, toe (glitter, snow, red), Jingle Belles - wrapping it up, Miami Doodles - make it shine, 2 Sisters - Christmas, Aud's Sentiments - Christmas / Holiday sentiment, Cute Card Thursday - anything goes, Hanna & Friends - Winter card, Moving Along With The Times - last minute Christmas card, Southern Girls Challenge - ribbon, ABC Christmas - Y is for Yippee!, Crafts & Me - snow/snowflakes, Creative Belli - Winter/Christmas (neglected ribbon & sentiment), Divas by Design - anything goes, Penny's Paper-Crafty - Merry Christmas, The Pixie Cottage - sketch/last minute cards, Ladybug Crafts - snowflakes & sparkle, Creative Card Crew - Tis The Season, Papertake - anything goes

If you missed yesterdays post and want a chance of winning dear little Edwin then scroll down one post and you'll find Mr Linky
I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend, I'm planning on wrapping some presents today as I have loads stashed in various places around the house and I will no doubt forget about some of them and find them during next year which is a usual trick of mine, but I think it's nice that I can produce Christmas presents in April, nobody is expecting them then lol.
Thanks for stopping by
