Fur Cones and Fir Cones @ Diva's

Good morning guys I'm here with a card for a brand new challenge at

DIVA'S BY DESIGN

and today Rebekah has chosen the theme

Distressing

I had so much fun making this card,
 it's been a while since I enjoyed card making this much!!

How cute is that image lol it's called Fur Cones from LOTV
I bought it last year when I went to the Harrogate show in October with Lisa, Pam, Debs and Claire and this is the first time I've used it. I got the paper pad from LOTV too.
The snowflakes edger is from Tim Holtz as is the fabulous Fir Cones Bigz die both available from Janice at Sir Stampalot. Louise told me how to make them when I called in one day, you might have to zoom in to even see what I'm talking about!
My cute snowflake charm is tied up with some fab neutral twine.

Our sponsor this week is

And you can check out the rest of the teams makes over on the Diva's challenge blog. The teams are having a bit of a shake up and I used to be Team A and from next week I'll be Team B so hopefully I'll get something made in time - I've not been the quickest crafter lately!!

That's all from me today, short and sweet.
My lovely little twin babies are 24 today lol, where did the years go!!

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
