New Challenge Month

Welcome June! But my how fast the time goes by. It's time once again for the new challenge over at 12 Months of Christmas Linkup. Our optional twist this month is Fur, Fluff, Feather or Fins and our sponsor is Imagine That Digis by Kris and Decosse's Dynamite Doodles. You don't have to follow the theme but your creation does have to be Christmas oriented. If you link up at least two cards you will receive a free digital paper.
In order to have a chance to win the prize from our wonderful guest sponsor this month, make sure that your Christmas card has an image of household pet as the focal point (i.e., cat, dog, bird, mouse, rabbit, hedgehog, ferret, fish, turtle, etc.).  If you do follow the optional theme, be sure to add FT after your name so that we include you in the draw for the prize.

Remember, you don't need to follow the theme to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month, and have your name thrown into the year end draw for some extra digital goodies. You only need to follow the theme if you want a chance to win this month's sponsored prize of a $10 gift certificate to the Imagine That Digistamp store.
Here's my creation for the challenge:

I used Snow Mice from Imagine That Digis by Kris/ Theimage is colored with Spectrum Noir markers. The background paper is Decosse's Dynamite Doodles Ecclectic Digital Paper and the snowflakes are punched from DDD Bokeh Digital Paper. I added some red card stock as an accent. I used white gel pen to add stripes to the snowman's hat and scarf and use Diamond Stickles to add some sparkle.
