Mornin' y'all...I started today off with a bang when I whacked my head on my dresser. It can only get better from here, right? I was picking up some socks off the floor when it happened and next time I'll just leave the socks on the floor, thankyouverymuch.
Anyway, I spent quite a chunk of time yesterday making Christmas cards for the hubs to take to work and I got eight done out of ten, so not bad at all. I plan to finish up the last two today after I wrap some presents. Here's the first card I made yesterday:
Hubs said do different designs and be creative, but I kept the designs pretty simple. I pulled out a bunch of Christmas stamp sets and fanned them out on the floor on one side of my crafting table, then pulled out a bunch of patterned paper and fanned them out on the floor on the other side of my crafting table, then Daphne galloped in and I had to move the papers to safety. Currently the guilty doggo is staring at me and trying to puppy dog eyes me into going for a walk before I finish this blog post, but she will have to be patient a little bit longer. I was lazy and just picked the Christmas DSP that I had closest to hand, so like six packs of 6x6 or 4x6 papers and then a few 12x12s that I could grab without searching through my giant stack o' papers.
Anyway, then I just started mixing and matching stamp sets and papers and the candy cane card is the first one I came up with. I used the current CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch to get started:
I ended up leaving off the banner part of the sketch since I did two large candy canes.
That's it for now, peeps. Seems like most challenges are going on a hiatus for the holidays, so I think next week I'll just be sharing the other cards I made for the hubs and otherwise just spend time with the fam since both my guys will be off of work and school next week. Cheers!

I like the candy canes!
Sorry about your head.
I totally do that. Seriously like every other year. I have sneezed and slammed my head, I hit my head on the car getting in, yep, all the things. *eye roll....
