Sketch Girls Challenge #9

The last two weeks have flown by. I have been working my tail off. The work that I am speaking of is unfortunately that job that pay the bills! This is the first time I have gone into the craft room in weeks and I hope this is the sketch that brings back the mojo and gets me out of the crafty slump. If this doesn't work a weekend with the Marisa and Janie sure will. This is what I came up with the the 9th sketch at Sketch Girls. I can't believe there have been 9 sketches already! I decided to turn the sketch into a 5.25 x 5.25 inch square and pulled the color combo from a pack of American Crafts paper that I won on WCMD over at Moxie Fab. I headed back into the craft room for some very necessary cleaning : (

Christmas Cheer

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'? I just love Christmas. I think more than I love Halloween. As soon as Thanksgiving is over I go straight into Christmas mode. I love that time of year. Time spent with friends and family. I love decorating the tree and listening to classic Christmas songs being sung by Bing Crosby, Burl Ives, Nat King Cole...I guess I just love the classics.

Here is a close-up of the felty goodness and the script font on the red and green :

My Last 2009 Halloween Card

I know I have been MIA lately. Work has been so busy I have not been able to get anything done at home, even crafting or updating the blog. I had a fabulous Halloween with my niece and my family. My sister, my niece and I got dressed up and went around the block to collect some candy goodness. She made it up one street before needing piggybacks, and of course I was the piggy! Here is my homage to Halloween, all though it has past : (
