December Calendar and a little elf

So here's December's calendar page for Mum, bonus points to me for actually being on time for a change!  I think this stamp is from Whipper Snapper, bought a looooong time ago and not inked for quite a few years!   I'd probably be totally skint if they had a UK supplier as I love their stamps.
My calendar stamp is a recent purchase from Amazon and I reckon they were a good buy, it's so much less of a faff than individually stamping all the letters of the month.  I haven't done anything in the background, other than ink in a snowdrift.


 I've still a few Christmas cards to make, I can hardly believe we're already at the end of November!
This one uses my trusty elf from MFT - coloured with polychromos and clear gloss / glitter added. My sentiment is cut from sparkly card, and I added a few die cut stars.  I think it kinda looked better in my head than the finished effort though!

I love the image on your calendar page. That tangled reindeer is hilarious. It looks like you put some Glossy Accents on the lights, too, which makes it look even more special. I'm loving the Christmas card, too. That little elf is so cute! I've only got to make 7 more Christmas cards. Whew! I'm down to the wire, and now I just want them to be done so I can move on to something else.
