Wishing You Christmas Cheer...Already!

Hello Stampers!

Today's card is sneak peek of Christmas!  I gained inspiration from two challenges yesterday.  First Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge and the ColourQ challenge #198.  It was really fun to try different elements to make this card work, and it finally came together for me.  I'd say it's a bit on the unconventional side.  (Can you tell I started watching the newest season of Project Runway last night?)  In any case, I hope you enjoy it!

*disclaimer:  not exactly quick, but still fairly easy.  :)

Unconventional Christmas. Why Not?

Good Wednesday, Folks!

     Found a pretty "cool" color combo at Nacho Average Challenge this week and this sketch at Sketch Frenzy Friday that truly did challenge me today.  

Can you tell that I'm already dreaming of a white Christmas?  LOL  It's true!  My card uses Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Whisper White card stock, (and ink) and Silver Glimmer paper.  the stamp sets used were More Merry Messages, Greetings of the Season (for the inside) and Snowflake Soiree.  The snowflake dies are retired.  

Hope you enjoy my card today and spend some cool time stamping this week too.  If you try a sketch, share your card with me.  I'd love to see it!

blessings,
