Day 1 - "A"

I'm kicking off this year's challenge with A for animal!
This big old bear is from the Birthday Bears set of digital stamps, so technically not a Christmas image.
But throw on a little glitter and some red and green markers and he definitely looks festive!

This little guy is so excited to unwrap his gift with his adorable little hat. He is so cute.

So sweet! I love the idea that I can use this stamp for Christmas. It never occurred to me before. I think my bear is going to roller skate right into Christmas!

Love this bear for Christmas! Since he’s not ripping it apart to find his gift, he must be making a pretty bow to give it to a friend!

I hope your cute bear will discover something sweet in the box.
I wish to everybody a funny and inspired challenge, again in November!

A great way to get more out of your supplies. Isn't it fun to see how changing up the colours totally changes the feel of the card? Red and green are definitely screaming Christmas.

"A" great start to the month.

I love the combination with orange! How much fun that at first sight a birthday image can end up as a Christmas scene, just by the choice of colouring!

What a darling bear! How clever that you used traditional Christmas colors to turn a non-holiday image into a Christmas card.

Such a great idea to use this handsome guy for a christmas card!!
It feels a little bit strange not to be able to play along this year, but I have to spend my time on other happy things.
I want to wish you all so much fun!!!

What a great way to use this image, thinking outside the box and stretching your supplies :)
