Sharing another series of Christmas cards created for the A-Z Daily Christmas Challenge over on docrafts which has now finished ... phew it certainly felt like I was running several marathons over the 26 days but glad to say I kept going and completed on time!

Third card is E for Eight ... eight snowmen coloured with promarkers, lots of snowflakes stamped in blue to break up the white space with a sentiment in the middle.  I kept with the eight theme and made
