Jump on board the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog hop

I know many of you really enjoy blog hops, and I promise you this one is going to be just as good , if not better than all the other ones promoted by myself and Sparkle N Sprinkle. Welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle "Sparkling Wintry Sensations” blog
hop! If you hopped here by way of the fabulous blog of our brilliant designer Julie Warner then you're in the right spot. If you'd like to start from the beginning and become
eligible for SIX great prizes, then click here.http://sparklensprinkle.com/blog/
My card is not a very sparkly design other than the frame that is heat embossed with Christmas Fire # EP 285.
 I am not a glitzy person as most of my fellow colleagues will testify, but I am BIG on family values. Maybe that is why I love the verse I have chosen, and the little family of penguins!These are from stamp set # 384 which can be found at http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/product_info.php?cPath=82_134&products_id=4321
Perhaps I am one of “The Five” with a secondary prize, so don't forget
to leave a comment to become eligible for the Grand Prize and one of the
5 secondary prizes, then hop on over to Central Nebraska and visit Judy's home at http://jarfullofjoy.blogspot.com/
Thank you for visiting me here in the UK, have fun and enjoy............Joan aka JP

Love your card Joan! The penguins are really cute and I really like your vintage Santa. I love that sentiment. Christmas dinner is my very favorite part of the holidays! Just getting all of the family in one place is very special! Have a great rest of the week!

Great layout, and love the framed Santa. I too think that family is the most important of any holi-day. lol And you don't have to have glitter all over to be a sparkly person, Joan.
