Two fabulous festive makes here Kathy. Congrats on remembering it's a one-layer week!

I love your two cute critters Kathy and both look great on kraft card and I think the stars with the polar bear and the grid with the penguin go beautifully as backgrounds and some wonderful colouring. Congrats on your Top 3 placement at Colour Crazy too...who could resist that cute duck. x
Just beautiful, love it.
Happy Weekend to you too
Hello Kathy, had to come and see what MFT was, love your makes, good to see what you used to, fab blog xx
Two super cards Kathy, with really cute images. I had some Polychromos pencils for my birthday this month and planning to have a play with them this week. You've given me the inspiration not to be afraid of them!! xx
Love your cute cards, love a bit of kraft card, and like the colouring in, not heard of those pencils, but obviously need them :)
