Acrostic Christmas Challenge

Hello fellow crafters, this week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges the challenge is an Acrostic Christmas chosen by Meighan.   The idea for the Acrostic Christmas Challenge is to create a Christmas card, project etc with inspiration taken from the letters in the word "Christmas".

You need to use at least 2 different letters from the word "Christmas" and note in your post what letters you have used and the words if it is not obvious.

Here are some examples but you are only limited to their imagination:

C - Carolers, Church, Cross, Cabin, Carriage, Celebration, Chimney, Collage
H - Happy, Holly, Hamper, Harp, Heavenly, Holiday
R - Ribbon, Red, Reindeer, Robe
I - Incense, Infant, Ivy,
S - Snow, Santa, Stars, Ski, Shape, Sea
T - Tree, Trimming, Thankful, Twenty-fifth, Teddy
M - Music, Mouse, , Moose, Monochromatic
A - Angel, Animal, Advent Calendar, Amethyst, Antique,
S - Sparkle, Sleigh, Skate, Ski





For my card I used the letters:

S for stars
R for Rudolf, reindeer, red and ribbon
H for Holly
M is for Mistletoe

Rudolf with the hanging stars is a cute digi from our sponsor this week Bugaboo Digi stamps. The Holly Jolly sentiment stamp is by Stampin Up.  Being sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps means that we have generous prize for one lucky player of 7 digi stamps.  The winner will chosen by random org.
