'U for Unlimited' (Anything Christmas)  
and  
'V for Vibrant'.

The prize is a $15 gift card

There's also a prize from Carol

My 'U for Unlimited' card. I bought the stamp with a voucher I recently won on another blog challenge, and of course had to get the die to go with it. The three wee snowmen would have come in handy for the 'T for Trio' theme of our last challenge but I got them too late.

Colouring medium - Prismacolour Premier soft core pencils

My 'V for Vibrant' card. I looked through my (ever growing) stash of papers and couldn't find any that I would really class as vibrant, so I had to get messy with distress inks. I used the five colours of the drawers on my craft trolley for inspiration.
