This one has two super prizes for you to play for.
The challenge this week is to make something that involves embossing.
How easy is THAT! It can be dry embossed, or heat embossed, or any combination of both!
(Is there any other method, apart from dry and heat)?
If there is, feel free to use it! LOL
 One random winner will receive these TWO stamp sets -


As an added holiday treat, if we make it over 100 entries, 
we'll give away a 12 piece Copic Ciao set!!!! Whoo Hoo!!


Here's my card.....

Isn't that Gingerbread the cutest!! She's from the set PK-412, Too Sweet To Eat.
The sentiment is from PK-328 Snowman Winter Greeting Card Set.
