Bugaboo’s annual week of Christmas Challenges is here! I had fun creating several cards.  The first, features an adorable free digi from artist/author Elizabeth Dulemba named Rudolph. Am entering this card into several challenges including the Outlaws Sunday Challenge, Sleigh Bells (because Rudolph will soon be prancing… and I’m pretty sure that he likes bells!)
