Happy Winter Sweetpea!!

My Mom and I were yakkin' the other day, as we are known to do, and she said that I hadn't posted this card on my blog yet. Apparently I posted it in my SCS gallery and on the ATS gallery but not here! Silly me!! Well here it is then!

This quick little card was made using a digital download image from All That Scraps called Winter Sweetpea and Tiger. I only used Sweetpea on this card but you do get Tiger the kitty cat with the download. I resized the image and printed it out on my computer using Wausau cardstock. Then I cut it out and embossed it using my new Nesties....love them!

The card base is Real Red and I used Regal Rose for matting the strip of Merry and Bright dp by My Mind's Eye. I coloured in the image using coordinating Copic markers and pop dotted it. Then I used two lengths of satin ribbon and added some glittery snowflake punches. The sentiment is an AmyR stamp and it is on Pink Pirouette and pop dotted. So simple but SO cute, right??

Well, yesterday my honey and I took off and did some Christmas shopping (against my better judgement and because he MADE me)!! The roads were busy, the parking lots were full and the stores were INSANE!! However, I did get to go to one of my favourite stamping stores in London and they are having a storewide 20% off sale, so I picked up a few things. He also took me to Michael's and I got to use my 40% off coupons....yes, coupons because I made him go in too!! hahaha! I think I'm pretty much finished my shopping except for some small stocking type things. How about you? Are you all done??

Then last night we went over to my best friend's house to do Christmas with her kids. Oh I love her kids! We laughed and giggled and had lots of fun. They opened up their presents and Emileigh too. Then they were playing on the Wii (is that how you spell it?) and we had snacks and watched a movie. A perfect holiday get together.

Now I've got to get busy! I have lots of stampin' work to do and it's a good thing I have today and tomorrow off! Hope you are having a great weekend.....and don't forget to enter my Whiff of Joy Blog Candy!!! You have until tonight to enter!!!
