Alphabet Challenge - R is for Ribbon

A new challenge has started at Alphabet Challenge
where the theme for this fortnight is 'R is for Ribbon'

The details of the challenge can be found HERE

Here is my last design team card for this challenge...

I am stepping down from the team, as changes are being made in the
New Year where members will be required to make two cards per month,
which is something I cannot commit to. 

The products I have used are:-

Crafts-Too Embossing Folder - Snowdrops
Stampin Up - Word Window Punch
Woodware Punch - Scalloped Oval

I will continue to enjoy being part of other design teams, which will
give me the opportunity to make cards just for me, without any pressure.
I enjoy receiving friendly feedback on my makes from the design team leader,
which I really appreciate but sadly this never happened on this team. 

Challenges entered:-
As You Like It  - Favourite Way to Add Snow
(I love the texture the embossing folder gives)
Cardz 4 Galz - Get ready for Christmas
Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - Christmas/Holidays
The Paper Shelter - Christmas Card
Crafty Sentiment Designs - Christmas
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
Dragonfly Dreams - Christmas/Winter
