My first Whiff of Joy

Happy Saturday everyone!! I'm working vigorously to get caught up from this past week....including finishing that card I started last weekend!! Doesn't seem like it should have taken me a week....it's not all that grand....lol....but it did!!

Here is.......my very first Whiff of Joy!!!!



Yes, you read that right....this is my very first Whiff of Joy stamp!!! When I last ordered from 7 Kids College Fund, the new Christmas Henry stamps had just come out so I had to get at least one! I wanted ALL of them, but somehow restrained myself! I colored him with my Copics, which as you know is rare!! I figured I couldn't mess up a mouse too badly, lol! After searching for over an hour for my Liquid Applique, I *finally* found it over by my cat's bed....hmmm....wonder how it got over there. It was so frustrating because I just needed 2 little dollops to put on the marshmallows, but the card just would not have been complete without it! I used Fun Flock on the hat, & Angel Wings Shimmerz on the steam. The papers are SU's Riding Hood Red, Old Olive & Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. I added some tulle & silver cord, along with a snowflake charm (& yes, I meant to shread the ends of the cord, lol). Stitched around the edges.....& added a snowflake that I just found while I was looking for the Liquid Applique. I forgot I had bought a package at Michael's last Christmas. The flakes are white felt with silver glitter....I sponged it using Riding Hood Red ink.....& plopped it on top of some punched leaves.

I'm adding this close up pic of the marshmallows, since I went through so much to add that LA!! LOL!!





Not sure what happened to my colors in this picture....they're way off....but I just wanted to show you the inside all dolled up :)

Well I'm off to finish some laundry & cleaning. I was hoping to bake some cookies today, but it looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow. The day just flies when we actually have power!! LOL!!
