Christmas Trio

I’m realizing that my posts are often pretty long… unlike many other bloggers. (I just mentioned that to my hubby and he laughed…loudly! Noting that I’m “vocabularious” in word and in speech. I know that he made that word up!!) So, I’m going to try to shorten my posts… but still provide important resource details, which will also be easier to find as I'll list them at the end of the post. Let me know what you think!

Love this vintage silhouette... and love that its a freebie! I didn't sponge the edges, it comes that way. I did highlight the snowflakes and packages/envelopes on the tree with a white gel pen. Am entering this card into several challenges: Incy Wincy Designs (used blue, burgundy and purple with lots of bling), Do-Al[l] Creative (love the vintage tree image), and two Outlawz challenges (ribbon slider and rockin’ round the tree. There might even be singing around that tree… or at least a bit of whining? “Mom, can we open one now?  Just one? Pleeeease!”)

I won three digis from Sheepski Designs a few months ago and just had to have this wonderful digi of a very grumpy cat named “Mindy.” The Beccy’s Place sentiments used in the card above are the perfect fit for this feisty feline, too. So fun! (Note, the ornament is actually really sparkly as I added a layer of clear holographic sticker paper after coloring it green. The photos don’t do it justice… but I did take a few closeups to show that there is some fun sparkle action going on!) I used a few scraps of the red striped paper from the front of the card to create peppermint sticks inside of the card. A little rounding of the edges, shading and highlighting made them look pretty yummy!

Am entering this into several challenges: Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge (Middle row of the TicTacToe board 1)the yellow-orange center of daisy is similar to the color of the cat, 2) bit of greenery in the middle photo, 3) Walt Disney quote mentions laughter. The humor in this card is sure to cause at least a few giggles or possibly even guffaws from my sister who will be the lucky recipient!), Simon Says Monday and Sheepski Designs (Sparkly things are my favorite), Simon Says Wednesday Challenge (was fun to use traditional Christmas Colors.)
