~~~ Anything Christmas Goes Tribute to Eileen at Winter Wonderland ~~~

Hey folks,

I'm back from two wonderful weeks in Aruba

We had a fabulous time with friends, old and new.

It continues to be our go-to island to escape the ice and snow...how lucky are we.

I seem to have lost my mojo while I was away so have been struggling this week

to get my DT commitments accomplished.

Today starts a new challenge at

Winter Wonderland Challenge

where we are remembering Eileen 

the lovely lady who started this great challenge.

 The theme is

Anything Christmas Goes

We are sponsored by the wonderful

Sheepski Designs

I've coloured with Copics a digital image called

"Snowboardin"  available here in the shop.

I've continued to source some of my design paper from

my large collection of scraps. 

"Merry" die cut is from Simon Says Stamp

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Always Fun Challenge #148

Crafty Gals Challenge #203
