I'm back again tonight and, boy, oh boy, I am cutting it close for this challenge! I think it closes in about an hour! I just had to play along with this newsletter freebie from The East Wind called Lala's Merry Christmas - such a cute image - and you know how I love kitties! I coloured the little ornament with my Prismacolor pencils, added white Flower Soft to Lala's hat, fussy-cut, and popped up with foam tape.
I die cut a pine branch (Impression Obsession) and inked it with Pine Needles Distress Ink. I added some silver twine to the ornament and wrapped it around the pine branch. The patterned paper is a left-over snippet from another project, and I think the glittery dots work well with the ornament. I added a die-cut banner and star (Lala Land Stitched Elements) and stamped the banner with a cute sentiment from Newton's Nook - Newton's Holiday Mischief set.
Also linking up to Colette's Cosmic Colours Challenge #8 (see colours below) - I think I've got almost all of the colours this time!

Elfis, my little Elf, loves to get into the photos! He sneaks in there when I'm not looking, and he looks so cute that I must take the picture! He thinks kitty's hat looks just like his! Why don't you join in the fun over at DL.ART's Second Annual Elf Antics Linky Party with your 3-D elf!
