Happy Christmas from us all at CES Challenges!!

Morning peeps, I'm a bit late this morning as I had a bit of lie-in!!! 
We're celebrating Christmas at CES Challenges this week - and are you ready!!! I'm certainly not - this is the first Crimbo card that I've made this year and I normally need to make around the 100 mark!!
I couldn't wait to use this new Mo Manning image, Little Sugar Plum Fairy, she is just so cute and a delight to colour and you can buy her here. I matched her with these fabulous Webster's Christmas Papers and Webster's trim available from Crafty Emma's Store (as are Promarkers and the 6x6 card stock!).
This is the bit where my mojo took it's Christmas break!!  I'd coloured, chosen my papers and my embellies but couldn't put it all together, so I feel the finished card is a little, well, flat, I suppose.   I love the little Marianne Creatable village dies but haven't used them in a very creative way!  You live and learn.
As always, if you can join in our Challenge at CES, you could win a yummy £10 voucher(excluding postage) to spend in Crafty Emma's Online store - and Emma has loads of new goodies on preorder with 20% off if you can wait a little!  I promised myself to stop buying papers, but the new  ones coming in are so lush, that I couldn't resist this offer!!  And, it doesn't really count does it, if you're not going to see them on your doorstep straight away!!
 Happy Saturday lovely bloggers!!

Gorgeous card, Julie - no other embellies needed. It's nice to focus on that beautifully coloured fairy.
