Pinky's turn at CCC








Another fortnight passed and another Xmas card for the club, Pinky's turn to chose and she wanted to see critter's, so any animal, I came across these toppers last night while I was looking for something else, and thought this little critter is lovely for Xmas.  I put loads of sparkly glitter on it but as usual it doesn't show up, papers from Nitwits another little find and the sentiment, I bought the snowflake die from Marianne when she was having a clear out just added a little gem to the centre. 
My spectrum noir pens came on Saturday wasn't that quick postage from J. Sheen who doesn't charge postage,  My GC says its dispatched, haven't plucked up the courage yet to tell my DOH I know what it will be,  something else to gather dust, or the bottom is gonna fall out of that shed, he knows me so well, hehe, its nice to see our little club growing so if you want to join us just say and we will add your name to the ever growing list, it saves rushing at Xmas time.
Thought I would add a little pic of my pens so you can see the colours this is the lights.

Brilliant card. Love all the sparkle. I have gathered up a number of promarkers but never feel that I have enough colours but my colouring is woeful anyway. This looks like a great set of pens - it will be interesting to hear what you think of them.

Oh Chris this is so my type of Traditional Christmas card I don't think you can ever replace the Robin on the front of a card, that image is superb, The papers and embellishments are the perfect finishing touch. I have just ordered a pack of Spectrum pens I will open them soon to see how I get on with them I have heard both for and against them, I will wait and see,
Hugs
