I used a Die'sire petite dots folder to emboss the base card and a magazine freebie folder for the snippet of gold card. No prizes for guessing the image is a LOTV stamp coloured with Promarkers and the snowflake is a Tattered Lace die cut from another of those snippets with a gem added to the centre. The metallic red card is a snippet and the baker's twine is from The Ribbon Girl.
and here's a closer look at the embossing
I shall enter this in the following challenges

I'm off to do a spot of housework now. I love the sun but when it shines through the window it really shows up the dust! Enjoy the rest of your weekend whatever you're up to.

Morning Andrea,
Great use of all those snippets and what a cutie image, the gold embossed panel really brings it all to life.

I can't believe I never thought to sit on Hubby's head to reach the top of the tree. Thanks for sharing this image and giving me such a great idea come Christmas decorating time. LOL This is so darn cute and that touch of gold embossed paper is ideal. I was thinking the same thing the other morning when I looked at the sun shinning in the dining room door. I thought the house was clean but evedentally not. Enjoy your day today.

Kanda, this is one sweet LOTV image, and so lovely the way you've colored it. Loved the bright glow of the red behind the bear's nose, and that gleam of gold embossed border. Nice texture on the white embossing that sets the background for this cute card. TFS & Happy wkend.
