Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer?

Happy Tuesday! It is time once again for a Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge. This week we have a great challenge for you this week, "Song Inspired". Create something that is inspired by a favorite song. I know that especially at this time of year weall have Christmas songs floating around in your head because you hear them EVERYWHERE! We also have a fantastic sponsor this week,

Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps.

I absolutely love these adorable digital stamps! They were so super nice to give the DT some really cute images to play with to inspire you. This adorable image that I used is called Bundeer. We have a bunny at our house and my daughter is always trying to put some costume on on her, so this reminded me of Bandit as soon as I saw it. Our bunny always sits or lays around the house with her feet sticking out so I popped up the feet on my image to make them stand out. I also used my new Tim Holtz snowflake border die on this card and I LOVE it! I procrastinated about buying it (even with a 50% off coupon) and boy am I glad I did!
The ladies created some adorable cards this week so be sure to stop by and check them out.
