what: Project #1 = Merry Christmas with my Gnomie card; my choice for anything fantasy goes character/creature

6. green, pink, and gray cardstock scraps = Neenah

7. additional blue alcohol marker ink edging on papers

8. kraft paper envelope = The Paper Studio

and

Project #2: Cupid (fantasy focus option for February) 

Notes:

1. the base is gray and white buffalo plaid cardstock panel = The Paper Studio

2. the red deer with floral print paper = Fruitcake and Tinsel paper pad = 

3. the heart-shaped puzzle clip art (free for personal use from The Clip Art Library website) was printed on pink cardstock = Neenah
