Happy Saturday Everyone!! I am so overjoyed to have finished some of my holiday baking yesterday. I was so exhausted after baking 30 dozen cookies and being on my feet all day. It is an awesome feeling though to have that much behind me. Only five more types of cookies to make (about 15 dozen). Today, I hope to do more, however today is a Christmas Shopping day. It is not for me necessarily but for the girls. Scott will take Nicki, my oldest, for the day and I Meghan. It is super special for the girls. Their highlight is having one on one time with one parent and going out for breakfast. It is not often that the girls get one on one time with Dad so this is treasured by Nicki! Later in the afternoon it is predicted that we will be having a snow storm so we will have to an early start.
Today, I have one card to share with you.
I made this card for Tuesday's Color Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers hosted by Betty. I used the stamp Angelica's Lantern from Inky Impressions and the Classic pad from K&Co. The colors used were melon mambo, old olive, so saffron, and bitter chocolate. I water colored the image, cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals. The layout is using Mercy's MTSC52 sketch for this week.
Stamps: Inky Impressions: Angelica's Lantern, Peace and Joy from Our Daily Bread Designs
Paper: Old olive, Classic pad from K&Co.
Accessories: MS snowflake border punch
oval spellbinders, silver baubles, American crafts ribbon, angel charm
I hope you enjoyed today's post. Thanks for stopping by today and for your sweet comments. I look forward to curling up at the computer with some hot chocolate while the snow comes down this afternoon for some inspiration from your blogs. Doesn't that sound cozy?
