Moving Along With The Times Challenge - Holidays

It's that time again, yes time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times

This week our theme is Holidays, you have quite a bit of choice on this one.
As soon as i saw the theme i knew the image i wanted to use, shame it's not been released as a stamp yet as i love it! Also i know someone who this card will be perfect for!
This week we are kindly sponsored by Robyns Fetish and she is giving the winner 3 Digi Images of their choice! Don't forget to go to the MAWTT Blog to see the rest of the DT's work, it's always inspirational and fantastic.
Here is my take on this week's challenge...
I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for the design. This image of course is a LOTV image, a die cut topper infact! I haven't had much time to craft this week as Jasmine hasn't been in nursery the usual days so i have been a bit behind. I am so getting into using Kraft card at the moment as you will see from my next few posts!
