ScrapLounge January Product Challenge Pack

Over to the right you will see the Stick 'n' Giggle on-line store! In the store are 10 little product challenge packs ready to be sent to their new homes and be turned into a masterpiece to share on ScrapLounge. To create your masterpiece, you will ONLY be able to use the contents of the pack, 1 x sheet of cardstock and 1 x sheet of patterned paper. The 10 masterpieces will then be voted on by the ScrapLounge Creative Team and the winner will receive a $20 store voucher or a $20 kit - the choice is that of the winner!

In all the kuffuffle of what is known as Christmas.....

I forgot to announce the winner of the Christmas Scrap Pack (I even forgot to bring it home with me to send it on to the winner) So without any further hesitation, the winner is:
