I've used Papermania 'Home for Christmas' stack and matching ribbon. The Winter Wishes sentiment is from 'Icy Angel' Stamp by LOTV. The tiny pearls are from MeiFlower and I decided to do them on the image as pearls and gems seemed to clash with the paper patterns.
I've coloured Santa with Promarkers and Spectrums... added some Stardust Stickles to his fur trims...
Now his fur trims sparkle like crazy in real life... but camera is telling big porkies again... and this is the best photo I got of the 'sparkles'

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend... I am just going to write some of my Christmas Cards before watching Strictly... we have got a neighbour on one side having major building work done and now some new people have moved in over the road and they have completely gutted the house... Oh the noise... they are planing all the floors with doors and windows open... and they work weekends!!!
but they did put a note through apologising for the noise that would be made.. so at least that is something... but I think I am getting old... I like my peace and quiet!! LOL I'm going to put my Karaoke Christmas CD on and have a Singalong now.... it will certainly drown out the building work noise! 
Love and Hugs
