You have a couple of days to join in, we will let you know on Saturday evening which was the ‘lucky’ blog and a winner will be drawn at random from all the comments that were left on that blog.  The prize is a full set of the new Christmas stamps...
that’s 20 rubber stamps, one each of all the newest designs
Here's a list of all the blogs taking part, and remember that you will need to visit them all and leave a comment on each one to have the best chance of winning;

Here is my card using Red Squirrels in Pine Tree... So very cute don't you think...

Card Recipe:
Flexmarkers, Promarkers and Prismas.
Burlap ribbon: Stanpin Up
