Results of a business trip for DH...

Hi there, and Happy Sunday!

So, a few weeks ago, my DH sent me on a business trip.  Technically, I could have gotten to the labs, dropped off the water samples, and been back home in 3 hours.  Hmmmm.....nope.  I invited a friend to ride along, and we hit the mall, Cracker Barrel, AND Hobby Lobby.  I had a 40% coupon for Holly Lobby, so this advent box just jumped right off the shelf and into my cart.  Can you imagine?

The images are from Amuse Stamps set: Holiday Tags, and all coloring is done with Copics. Lots of miscellaneous DP scraps used.  Ribbon is from Wal-Mart.  Numbers are done with a C.C. Designs die.

Since it was already in the cart, I decided no harm could be done by bringing it home and making it a bit more festive.  Here is the end result:

Hope this brightened your day!
I am entering it into a challenge at the Fun 'n Flair Design Challenge!  Be sure to check out their darling stamps!!!  Can't wait to get some inky :)

Off to take care of some pre-Thanksgiving chores before the dust bunnies eat our guests alive!

Thanks for stopping by,

Gotta love sparkles...

Hello, and brrr.....

Hope this finds you enjoying the weekend.  It's a gorgeous weekend here.  We had 82 degrees on Thursday and 41 degrees on Friday...lol.  A bit warmer today!

 PaperCraftPlanet had a wonderful sketch challenge this week, and I used the sketch for creating my card.

They also have a simpler version of the sketch shown below, if you want to play along using it!

So, meet one of the new cuties from The Digi Garden.  This sweet image is simply called Elf with Object.  In this case, the object is a beautiful, sparkly, Christmas ornament, that Elf is on her way to hang on the town's ginormous tree.  That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

Hope you will head over to PaperCraftPlanet and join in the sketch challenge.  Also, hop over to The Digi Garden, and check out all of their darling digi images!

Thanks for stopping in today!
