It's Reminder Time for Challenge #49

Well, I don't know about you but for me this month seems to be speeding along like a sled whizzing down a mountain.

Did you see what I did there? A seamless segue from welcome to challenge theme! LOL.

Yes, welcome to Christmas Kickstart again. This month our theme is:

Our lovely elfin companion for Challenge #49 is Jane from Onions and Paper.

Here's a reminder of Jane's lovely inspiration card for this challenge.

I love brown and blue together and decided to take my inspiration from Jane's colour combo for my card.

My cute penguin, the sack of pressies and the sledge are all from from a Hobby Art set called, appropriately enough, Penguins. A big thank you to my blogging bud Gail for gifting me this lovely set.

I wanted to add some embellishments, but just couldn't make it work no matter what I tried. In the end I just left it alone - sometimes you just gotta do that.

Jane and I would love to see a few more players in the gallery, so please read the rules and come join the fun! You have until Friday 30th April to play along.
