Season of giving....

Good morning!! It's Sunday again & you know what that means ~~ another challenge on the High Hopes Challenge Blog!! Today's challenge is a sketch challenge from Katharina, & what a great sketch it is!! I was so eager to play.......but I never got around to it. It's still on my list, so hopefully sometime this week I will get to play along.

Nope, today I have a card for Wednesday's sketch challenge on SCS, lol. I started this card ON WEDNESDAY, & just finished it last night. That pretty much sums up how things are moving along for me this week ~~ at a snail's pace. And with Christmas just two months away, well I'm going to have to speed it up a bit!!

So yes, I'm a few days late but here it is!! I used one of High Hopes' new releases, Christmas Treat. It's colored with Prismas & Gamsol, & of course I had to glitterize Santa's "fur" with Dazzling Diamonds glitter! I used Riding Hood Red ~~ my very favorite of all the new In Colors ~~ & Basic Grey Figgy Pudding. I had bought this 6x6 pad late last year & I think I only got to use it once. So I will be using it on lots of cards ~~ that will justify buying the new Wassail! I added some RHR taffeta ribbon & 3 dew drops, plus some Primas & my new favorite thing ~~ a jewelry spacer for the center.


Here's the inside. I broke down & bought the Martha Stewart doily lace punch yesterday with my coupon. At first I had trouble using it on SU cardstock, which I had heard about (the SU is just too thick). But when I used it with the RHR it worked just fine. Love this punch ~ I'm sure I'll use it a lot!!

So what are your plans for today?? This is our Trick or Treat day, from 2-4, & it's nice & windy & cold! I believe they have predicted snow for today. That's a treat right there! LOL!! I will share pictures later of my kids dressed up ~~ Matthew is going to be a Packer fan (he was going to be a Packer *player* but I wouldn't spring for a helmet) & Michael is going to be either a fireman or Darth Vader. What a decision!! Have a great day!!

Great card Michelle. I agree that punch is super. It really looks great here. It is sunny and 70 here. We are going as Darth Vadar for Halloween this week. It's a boy thing. Great job on your card. Love the prima centers. Would not have thought of that.
