Challenge #88

  ANYTHING GOES with the 

Optional Twist: Winter SPORTS

Our theme, as always, is ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS (or in celebration of other December holidays). If you want to challenge yourself, you can always follow our optional twist of Winter SPORTS (for example: skating, hockey, skiing, tobogganing, snowboarding, etc.).

Keep in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month or for a chance to win your choice of TWO Christmas or Winter themed mini kits of digital papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. Following the twist is simply for fun. 

Here is a preview of May's paper for those adding TWO cards to this month's link up:

Papers will be sent to the email address that qualifying participants used when they added their cards to the Link Up, as soon as I can manage!

As always, we are going to have a random draw from all the entries that followed the twist and give out a set of digital papers to one lucky individual. The papers are all made so why not have an extra prize!  Here is the preview for the full set...

  A Touch of Frost: Mid-Tone Colours Collection Mini Kit
from Challenge #84 is
