Merry Christmas {DD #83} and {Merry Monday #88}


Happy Monday friends! It is an extremely windy day here in central Alberta, CANADA but at least our temps are a bit nicer! The thermometer is reading about -3C with a windchill of about -10C....*much* better than last week when we were sitting at the -45C windchills....brrrrr....

I was on a mission today to finish up the rest of my DT requirements for the rest of 2013 before Christmas - I got a couple done but came across this wonderful color combination over at Dynamic Duos and wanted to do a "for fun" card....


 I also saw that Lesley has an awesome challenge going on this week at Merry Monday Challenges - and it's to make a Christmas card, of course, but it also has to have an animal on it.



This cutie from From The Heart Stamps was sitting in my "to color" file folder so I whipped it up quick with my Copic Markers using the Dynamic Duo's color scheme:



 I added some die cut snowflakes and the Merry Christmas die cut ... all from Paper Smooches, topped the snowflakes with a few gems, added Dazzling Diamonds to her coat and the snow (and a lot of it stuck around the letters on the sentiment LOL) and wa-laa!! Done!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Color Me Creative - Holiday Theme
Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes
Creative Knockouts - 'Tis the Season
Corrosive Challenges - Anything Goes
Addicted to CAS - Snowflakes

Thanks so much for stopping in today! I am off to finish wrapping up the last of the gifts and start some baking on this blustery day....have a good one!! CHEERS!
