I have chosen this lovely Sketch from Sketch Saturday
I have used the cute image provided by Stamp Fairy - Barry Countdown To Christmas he is soooo cute, the papers are from EP times and Seasons, I have used a MS punch and also my ribbler for the pale blue/green spotty paper and also the top corner under the star brads, I also glittered the star brads with clear embossing powder and glamour dust.

Here’s a closer look
