Happy Thursday, peeps! Boy, this week is just whizzing by....way too fast, too! Jen's cute FMS sketch caught my eye yesterday:
I had gotten this Jolly Friends set mostly for the Santa hats and accessories....I wasn't real keen on the elf and Santa faces, but I forced myself to stamp Santa and do some coloring:
Santa was stamped with Memento ink on heavy white cardstock and colored with an aquapainter and some Blushing Bride ink; then I added some Calypso Coral for his cheeks and a wee bit of Smoky Slate as a shadow on his beard. I punched out his hat with some glimmer papers and mounted it all on a Mint Macaron DSP stitched circle. The sentiment is from Oh What Fun; the striped piece is from Presents and Pinecones, along with a wee sliver of Cherry Cobbler. I added a star near the sentiment as well as on the inside:
The holly jolly sentiment is from Stitched with Cheer; the holly is from Oh What Fun. And I think this IS a fun card!
Tuesday was such a beautiful day...didn't feel like November at all! After we voted, since Cassidy had no school, we played at the park next to our township building for almost two and a half hours! There were so many kids there, she had a really good time! After we came home and had lunch, we played outside some more! And acted silly:
Enjoy your day!
