Many Thanks and Santa Baby Challenge Winner

For the Fun Friday "Winter" Challenge click Here
Don't know about anyone else but I find it's hard sometimes
to switch gears when you but all your holiday supplies away
so I thought I would make a simple card
a stamp from Stampin Up
butterflies from my two Martha Stewart's Punches
and an answer for
Pat
Pat asked what embossing folder I had use on my "Santa baby" project
I had gotten that one before I started putting the names on my folders with
black sharpies
but after a little research today I found that that folder
is from a two pack  Sizzix Sugar and Starry Night Embossing the one I used
was the Starry Night and now they are marked with their names
Santa Baby Challenge winner is
8. cynthia
Top three
1. Marcia T  Marcia's Memories
9. maida 

12. Docerela  Dorecela Creations

Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true."
