Festive Giraffe

Hey look, a post on Saturday!  I squeezed in one more card before Ryan got out of school early yesterday, so here it is:

Actually I didn't finish it before I had to go pick him up, I had finished the coloring but didn't stick everything together until afterwards.  Anyway, a lot of the time I don't get to play along at Just Add Ink because the challenges seem to close out like an hour before I get my link ready to go, so this time I was determined to do it.

I chose trees and ornaments, which are helpfully both in the giraffe image from Festive & Fun.  And this fits in with the Festive Friday challenge too:

I used white, brown, red, rhinestones, and embossing and I *still* want to do another card or two with this inspo list.  It's fun :)

Don't forget our month-long Christmas challenge and SUO Challenges, too.  Cheers, y'all!  Imma go eat a cinnamon roll.

Morning, y'all!  How's it going this morning?  Ryan is being a Very Angry Elf today, not sure why that is as he went to bed on time last night.

Anyway, I spent some time coloring in my craft room yesterday and here's my card:

This is the maiden voyage for Festive & Fun, you know I can't resist the critter stamps : )  I started with the Paper Players challenge:

I was drawn to the colors in the upper left picture, especially that bright blue with the more traditional red and green, so that informed my coloring decisions.  And please ignore the spot on the lower left side of the card front, apparently one of my Blends was resting on it when I was coloring and I didn't notice it soon enough, but I'd already stuck down the back layers, so...it's staying like that.

Check out the latest Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch:

That big image panel I thought worked well for the rhino and his little birdy friends.  That's it for me today, I've got to go take the Very Angry Elf to school.  Cheers!
