I is for...... 'Ice and Snow' ABC Challenge

Good Afternoon!
Apologies this should have been posted yesterday but I was having a real nightmare with blogger!
Anyway, it's time for another ABC Challenge and this time we want you to think of Ice and Snow for the letter I.
This week we are sponsored by Wags and Whiskers, whom have kindly donated a fab prize.
Please remember you can only combine our challenge with a maximum of 4 others, you can enter more than once but each time must be a different project, ie card, layout etc

I have chosen to make a word book using some gorgeous paper from Basic Grey's Jovial collection and teamed it with lots of lovely images from Magnolia. I created the letters on my computer using the font 'Rockwell' then printed them onto card and covered with the DP's.
I spritzed the entire book with Irridescent Gold Glimmer Mist for some added sparkle then coloured for England yeah! I used a Marrianne D snowflake die set to embellish and plenty of ribbon from my stash.
I know it will be a bit long winded but in case you wish to know what I've used I will include a ProMarker crib sheet for each of the characters.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
I Love Promarkers - #42 'Anthing Goes - with a bit of Sparkle'
Passion for Promarkers - 'Old and New' (Old stamps, and New papers)
A Spoonfull of Sugar - #131 'Anything Goes'
ABC Christmas Challenge - 'X is for Xmas'
Really Reasonable Ribbon - #12 'Christmas Theme'
Pile it On - #46 'Winter Means...' (Snow)
Totally Papercrafts - #43 'Snow and Snowflakes'
Top Tip Tuesday - #11 'Layer on Layer'
Simon Says - 'Let it Snow'
