Now on to today's challenge . . .

The design team creations today will be showcasing Shelly's "NATIVITY" digi image.  If you are getting an early start on your holiday cards, you'll want to pop on over to Shelly's Images Store for some awesome bargains and then if you need inspiration, check out Shelly's Images Challenge Blog.

 For today's card,  I have used Prismacolor markers to color this fabulous image and chalked out around the image to hopefully make it POP a bit more.  Various holiday designer papers were used for the design layout and actually they are scraps from last season.  It's always nice to be able to use up some of my 'scrap pile'.  The snowflake is actually white foam which I've inked and embossed.  I bought a whole pack of different sizes last year at Joann's.  I've added Stickles Diamonds in the center.

Here's a close up so you can see the detail in Shelly's image!

Since I don't use Copics (probably the only person on the planet who doesn't own Copics), I'm always afraid I'm not showcasing the fine detail Shelly puts into her digi images.  But I do my best with what I have.

A few other qualifying challenges are:

Creatalicious Challenge - Christmas in July

Cards for Men #15 - Christmas in July

Hookedoncraft Challenge - Christmas in July

Lollipop Crafts - Christmas in July

The Crazy Challenge - Christmas in July

There She Goes - Christmas in July

Totally Stampalicious - Christmas in July

Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun at Shelly's Images!  Remember ... Shelly's Images challenges are now being held TWICE A MONTH ... the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month!  That gives you even MORE TIME to join in our fun!  Hope to see you there!!
