SBS25 Challenge #5 & Papertake's Simply Sparkling

I keep missing the deadlines for our group of stamping bloggers. Janet sets the Challenges and this week I was determined to take part. There could be no excuses as she set a nice easy challenge: two different printed papers and some glitter. I'm also submitting my card for Papertake's Challenge, which this week is Simply Sparkling http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/2008/11/simply-sparkling.html

The papers and the sentiment are free ones that came with a magazine (can't remember which!). The sparkle and glitter are on the narrow ribbon. Also I've used glitter for snow on the trees and on the foreground of the stamped scene, and around the edge of the sentiment. It doesn't show up very well, if you enlarge the photo you can see it a bit more. The lovely, lovely tree stamp is an Art Impressions one that I bought from Sir Stampalot at Ally Pally last month.
