Challenge 64 - Santa is on his way

Morning to you all! Hope your week has been super good and you are ready for a new challenge here at the Bearly Mine Challenges. Here in the South East of Sweden we are now covered in the "white stuff" and it's coming more of it. Love the light it gives during the dark days and it's so much easier for Santa to come and visit when his sleigh can slide on the snow (lol), and that takes us to this weeks theme "Santa is on his way." Nice and easy I hope. Want to see a whole bunch of these lovely Santa cards, because your card has to show Mr Santa in some way.

This weeks sponsor is Kenny K and they are offering one winner five digis of their choice. Brilliant isn't? They might even have a Santa. Why don't you pop by and see what they have to offer you?

We have a winner of last weeks prize that was a lovely die and two stamps from Marianne Designs. The lucky winner of this is number 2 . That's you  Kelly! Please tickle the bear tummy to the right and he takes you to Donna and she will help sort out your prize for you. And don't forget to grab your Winner's badge form the badge page above.
