Well the big day has come and gone and I hope Santa was good to you this year. :)
I had a lovely day yesterday filled with good food and great company... it doesn't get much better than that... though I was gifted with some extra moola that's already burning a hole in my pocket. Good thing new stamps are being released later this week so I can put it to good use... ;)
Can I just say that it felt both a little weird but totally great to finally be breaking away from all the Christmas cards I've been making lately? My world has expanded to include all the wonderful colors I've been missing, so right off the bat I knew I wanted to take advantage of the Sugar Bowl challenge that includes using your favorite color along with their sketch.
I love orange. It has been my favorite color for quite a few years now. It is such a happy color don't you think? And it felt great to jump in and play with it's sunny warmth... especially since it is SO cold here! If it's possible for paper to warm you up on a cold day this new Basic Grey certainly did the trick. ;)
And I left little Goth Gorjuss Girl pretty much as is, except for drawing in some sleeves on her dress... I love this stamp. All in all just a simple little card that puts a smile on my face :)
OK, I think I've rambled on enough for today but before I go be sure to come back tomorrow as it will be the first candy up for grabs in a week of give-aways to celebrate some new releases and it's not a bad way to ring in the new year either! I promise you won't want to miss out on the fun! :)
Toodles!

Wow Amy, You may say simple, but I think this card just POPS off of the page..I so love the colors you used and the dimention is just ridiculous. I love it, and it sure did warm me up this morning. And you know it is sooo cold (13 degrees)this morning. I have to tell you, Jerry bought me all of your fairies for Christmas. They are digi for now, but I already made a card with one of them. Isn't he trained well.lol... Have a great Saturday. Lisa
