Baby it's COLD Outside

This card is for my post for the Tuesday Morning Sketch 535 for the Annual Anything Goes. For this challenge I used an image from Mo Manning Chill, and a sentiment from TLC, Create. I found ribbon with bling in it. The snowflake sequins are two different colors a white and clear and they just don't photograph well. The white ones have blue sequin centers and the clear have white sequin centers. I think put glitter on her fur of the hat and jacket.

For those who celebrate have a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmoose Holiday Critter Chaos Day 5

Today at Catch the Bug it's Holiday Critter Chaos Day 5 ad it's Critter Chuckle of making a humorous creation using eh photo as inspiration.  For my card, I used Make it Snappy Merry Christmoose.  And, I thought that my moose was all tangled up in the lights and he even has his mouth tied with the lights so the cat and dog left him to go steal the milk and cookies and didn't share, lol. That's why he has the googly big eyes because he can't believe that they abandoned him all tangled, where we are not shocked at all.  I added a couple of charms on a knotted line in the corner.

Congrats Grad! You Did It!

Today I have to go to my Sons Girlfriend's College Graduation which is 90 miles away. I'm so excited for her.  She already has a job set up and her and my son are moving forward with their lives. I will get to meet her parents. It's just a crazy time of year before the holidays.  I made a card for her using a die cut (not sure of the maker) and some washi tape on an embossed background.
