Deck the Halls ...

As the weather drops below the freezing point here in the Midwest, we're anxiously awaiting the first good snow at my house!  I know ... I know ... there's just something about it that still gets me excited.  Tonight we finished decking the halls in our home and with that in mind, I chose a new card to share with you.

I simply loved the Sheetload sketch for this month.  Also, it was easy to get inspired with all of the cute digital stamps from Doodle Palace. Take a look at my first of 3 cards in this month's issue below.  I've been using my Prisma pencils and Gamsol a lot lately. It's also been like a new discovery for me.  I like the tonality that can be achieved using the little blending stubbies. 


This card also gave me a chance to use something in my craft room that I've never used before ... my flock!  I remember when it came out in the store and because it was 'new' I just HAD to have it!  Gee ... how many times have we all done that? 

As always a full description of the supplies I used can be found in the December Sheetload.  Hmmm ... I wonder if it's starting to snow ... looks like it's time for some hot chocolate!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

This was posted by one of my crafty friends at the Stamp Shack and I thought this was a great way to start off the holiday season ... with a great big belly laugh!  Enjoy!

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or inkpads or lace?
Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him...
"Hi Santa, " I said.
He replied, "You know....good girls should be in their beds".
"I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught.
But I was just so excited to see what you brought."
"Well, let's take a look in this room where you work".
He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.
"You've got enough crap,
I'll see you next year!"
