Wishing you a Cozy Little Christmas

 I found an image that I had colored some time ago from TLC, Create and I have been having a desire to make vintage/shabby chic cards lately. I got a quote on Friday to have some squirrels removed from my attic and I'm not happy about the cost, but I can't allow them to stay and cause more damage. So I am not feeling any love for squirrels, mice or woodpeckers unless they are on cards so this week they are costing me a bundle.

Today at Catch the Bug is Friday Freebie and you can't miss this one. The image is C Cathy Xmas Right Idea and she is crabby this Friday.  I did a pastel, non-traditional Christmas card.  I love this color combo which was a suggestion of the Christmas Throwdown a few weeks ago of pink, blue and green.  Hope that you have a better Friday and that you go to this week to get this wonderful image.

Also remember that starting on Saturday December 1st is the Holiday Chaos at Catch the Bug and we will have a week long of challenges.  I will have a post and project everyday!!!  My teamies have some wonderful creations and you can win some daily prizes so join in to make one, two or seven items.

Today starts a new Challenge at Catch the Bug and it is a photo inspiration.  For my card, I used, Winter kidz girl and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I added snow to my image by masking it with Moltow drops then coloring the sky and then rubbing the masking drops off.  I put Sakura jelly white pen drops over the image.  I colored her clothes in a rainbow of colors and the background paper in a rainbow to go with the photo inspiration picture.

I  colored this adorable image from Imagine That Digistamp called Housework Sucks and I have the sentiment posted inside.  I had to attach some poms to look like dust bunnies.
