Final Lady Anne Progressive Christmas Challenge

I have just enough time left to post my final creation for the Lady Anne Progressive Christmas Challenge.  For the last year I have had the opportunity to be involved in this wonderful progressive Christmas Challenge where we got two images each month to play with.  As long as we submitted a card with at least one of them, we were eligible to receive two more the next month.  This has been a wonderful opportunity to build my bank of Christmas images from many different companies and it also gave me the incentive that I needed to create Christmas cards on a consistent basis.  Sadly, Lady Anne has decided to close this particular challenge.  I'm not sure how I will fare next year without deadlines for keeping on track.  I almost thought about starting my own progressive Christmas challenge and hand out Christmas papers and goodies to work with but given everything else I am doing right now I realized that it would be adding just too much additional work and then I probably wouldn't get the chance to create any cards of my own for it because I'd be so busy with the admin of it.  It is still something I'd like to do in the future.  Maybe I'll make it a two year goal.  

Anyways, I would like to thank Lady Anne and Laurian for creating and allowing us the opportunity to participate in the progressive Christmas challenge.  I would also like to thank the team for the amazing creative inspiration that they have provided us throughout this past year.  I wish everyone involved with this challenge, much success in your future endeavours and hope to see you out and about in the blogiverse.

So here it is, my final LAPCC creation...

General Information:

• I created a strictly digital creation for now.  However I do have plans to turn it into a physical card.

Digital Images: 

• Snowman:  This cute snowman image is of course from this month's sponsor, Oak Pond Creations. 
  • The image was coloured digitally in PSE5.  Parts of the image were altered using layer styles from Shelby Kate Schmitz of graphicssoft.about.com. 

• The background scene is from George Hodan, a photographer with PublicDomainPictures.net. 

 Digital Embellishments:

• The frame is a shape also from Shelby Kate Schmitz.  It has been altered using one of her layer styles as well.
• The digital snowflakes are from the Brisk kit designed by Jeanine Baechtold a designer with ComputerScrapbook.com, available as a freebie.
