WAITING FOR SANTA.................

Morning all...............

Hope you are all well on this Tuesday and the weather has improved for you too....it's still pretty damp here in Essex and so dark.....So hate these short days.... :o(

So onto my card....and today I have used a sweet Mimosa stamp from Bildmarlarna....and I just so love her gorgeous face. I have teamed her up with some fabulous Nitwits...again some lace and my punched poinsettia flowers with a sprinkling of Stardust Stickles...

I have followed the great sketch over at Totally Gorguss # 105
