Ok, ok so I'm a bit early with that sentiment but can you believe here we are at December 1st already? Craziness I tell ya! I feel like if I blink I'll find myself in 2010 already. :)
All I can do is concentrate on the here and now and right now I'm really close to getting all of my Christmas cards done for this year... yeah! Even better than that, I have a good stack of them stamped and ready to drop off at the post office on my way to work this morning. I'm feelin' so on top of things! What a great start to the month. :)
So yes, my card today is another Christmas card and this one works for the Flutter By #85 challenge to use circles. I figure the circle behind Madeline and all the bling gems qualify. ;) When I sat down to make a card yesterday I was originally thinking of doing another Gorjuss Girl but then I flipped past my Kettos and realized they've been pretty neglected the past few months. So I thought if I could alter Gorjuss and the like to work for Christmas why couldn't I do the same with the Kettos? Ahhhhh... I detect a personal challenge and who am I to back down? LOL
Thus I present to you the resulting Ketto Christmas card. I wiped away her little flower crown and added a clear dollar stamp ornament to her hand but otherwise I didn't have to change her that much. I'm actually kind of sad to be winding down on the whole Christmas card thing because I have a lot more ideas for using these little gals now. Oh well, there's always next year...
Alrighty, I'm off to get ready for work. Don't forget to scroll down to yesterday's post if you want to be entered for a chance to win this week's Sweet November candy!

This is soooo cute! You always know how to alter an image to get the perfect theme out of it. Like adding that ornament to her hand. Love the colors of this.
Such an awesome job fitting this Ketto into your Christmas theme. The Autumn Leaves sentiment is really pretty and looks cool sailing behind her.
