Friendship is our Special-Tea!!

Well, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. We had a fabulous time over the last few days. We had friends stop by on Christmas Eve and we also got our new 55 inch TV and set it up! It's amazing, by the way!! Then we had a quiet day on Christmas Day, just the three of us! And yesterday my parents came up for the day and we had presents, played games, ate lots and it was fun!!

I hope that Santa Claus was good to you and that you got at least a few stampin' goodies to play with!!! I got some new Magnolia stamps, some Copic markers and a set of the Oval Nestabilities!! Woohoo!! I can't wait to get playin' with them all!! I've already practiced a little bit with the markers!! Heehee!

Here is a card that I made last weekend for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers!! Guess who the Featured Stamper was??? It was Crissy Armstrong who is the most talented lady that designs the High Hopes stamps!!! So of course I HAD to join in on this challenge!! The idea is to choose one of the cards from her gallery and use it as inspiration for a card! So I chose to use her card here and this is what I created!!

I used the new Trish the Tea Angel stamp and I just think she is too adorable!!! I coloured her in using my SU markers, pulling the colours from the Scrapbook Walls patterned paper that I used. I followed the same basic layout that Crissy used on her card too. I stamped the Tea Border stamp on a separate piece of paper, coloured a teapot and a couple of teacups and then cut them out. I clustered them in the corner of the main image and pop dotted the teapot. I also stamped the sentiment directly on the dp, added some Prima flowers with a pearlized brad and added some sparkle to her wings and the heart shaped steam using my Stardust Sakura gel pen! Hope you like her!!

Now I'd LOVE to hear what everyone found in their stockings and under the Christmas tree....so please share!!!!
