I'm participating all three days with products from Pretty Little Studio. Today's card features a cozy little elf snuggling a little bird - the perfect feather blanket! This sweet image is called Bashful Elf. It's a die cut - so it's printed and trimmed and ready to work with. My grandmother used to have little "elves" around the house at Christmas but she called them Pixies.
I've got lots of layers on this card. the base is papers from the Jingle Bells Collection. On top of that I added a Cambridge 4" doily (you can see it above) it's peeking out from a Festive Bookmark Journaling Card.

Do you see the little strip of tape in the bottom right corner? That's new Be Good Vellum Tape! One sheet has several patterns and you can cut them to size. I used only about an inch here so I'll have enough for several projects! Isn't this little guy just the sweetest?

Hey! Before you go!!! Make sure you leave me a comment. One person who leaves a comment on any of my Visions of Sugar Plums posts (today Dec 6-8) will be selected to win a $15 gift certificate for Pretty Little Studio. You have until December 11 to leave a comment. I'll post the winner on December 13.

Do you love twine?  Its a beautiful compliment to any project.  I'm going to pick a second winner to receive a sampler of twine from The Twinery.  You can check them out here... the have twine in solids and stripes -  as well as metallic mixed blends.
