Papertake Weekily GDT week 2

Hiya Guys, i wonder if i'm the only one not ready for the big guy comin at the weekend, still got lots to do and i'm in work all day tomorrow and christmas eve as well. It's gonna have to be a case of sending hubby shopping on friday with a list lol.

.

Here the card i have made for my 2nd week as GD for papertake weekly this week its nice and easy cause ANYTHING GOES. I have followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday and have used my secret santa prezzie off tanja I love it it's so cute, the papers are dovecraft, charm and card candy to finish. The image has been embossed with versafine and then popped into the freezer to give the cracked ice effect (should have just left it in the garden for a bit would have done the job). I'll be back tomorrow with my Sarah Hurley Challenge Card.

Keep warm and thanks for looking Shell xx
