It was great to see so much of the white stuff on your entries for Challenge 112 - although I'm not so glad that there have been flurries of snow today and more seems to be forecast ... brrr, thought we'd seen the last of that!

Now on to:
Challenge 113
For today's challenge I'm asking you to only use one word on the front of your card
This is a little bit about Di who produces such gorgeous digital images:
'I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with likeminded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!'

For my card I've used the Amalia's joy banner digi kindly supplied by Dilly Beans - you can read more about the card and the sketch I used here on my regular crafting blog 'My Crafty Outlook'. Of course, I've used the word JOY:
Another card for this challenge, using a Penny Black stamp and the word 'Harmony' - more about it here:
Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques, as long as the end result is a Christmas card. Last week there was an absence of snow, but this week please show any Christmas card that shows just one word on the front - 'One word is sufficient' - it might be celebrate, joy, peace, Noel, Christmas ... you can repeat the word if you wish, but no other words. I'm sure you can think of others.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge - please add a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your card can be found) by 22:00 UK time Friday 1 March. Please mention my blog and create a link within the post for your creation.
You can enter as many times as you wish (a good way to build up your stock of Christmas cards) and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.
A new challenge will be set on Saturday 2 March when there will once again be three chances to win a prize, thanks to generous sponsors.
Please add your link to inlinkz. If by any chance it disappears, please leave a comment with the link to your blog post and I will make sure it is added.
