Designed 2 Delight - A Little Holiday Joy

Happy Friday!
It's the end of another dark week and I can't wait to turn back the clocks so we can at least be getting light when we get up.
But enough of weather problems and on to today's card.
It's one using the wonderful Dollar Delights at Designed to Delight. These are super cute little images, perfect for a quick card or gift card and work well alone or grouped with others.

Challenges:
Sweet Stop Sketches - Sketch
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
Incy Wincy - Anything Goes
Lexi's - Anything Goes
Speedy The Cat's Friends - Holiday card
One Stitch At A Time - Christmas
Critter Challenge - Christmas
Little Red Wagon - Red

Card Recipe:
Image - Dollar Delights
Paper - The Christmas Combo by DCWV
Medium - Copic Markers
Border Punch - Martha Stewart
Ribbons - Michaels
Chipboard Letters - Provo Craft
Glitter - Stickles

I will admit that I had colored these images for a whole different card (one that just didn't work out) and so when I saw the sketch I knew my images hadn't gone to waste ;)
A simple card and one that can be recreated quickly and so probably will be added to my Christmas card making production line! LOL
