We're just about a week away from Christmas now... are you ready? I'm pretty much all set for the big day. I've got just a few more cards to send out on Monday and then most everything but my annual holiday baking will be crossed off the to-do list. :)
This past week has been a bit of a break from Christmas cards, but today I'm jumping right back in to the good ol' holly jolly. This was a fun one that I put together, completely inspired by that fun Kid's Quote sentiment stamp. So I did a bit of altering on Wild Sprout Matilda by wiping away her original eyes and tracing on DeeDee's wide, innocent looking eyes instead. Then I thought it would be cute to add a pair of angel wings, kind of like she's just returned home after the big Christmas pageant at school (hey, I can still remember wearing around tissue paper wings after one such concert when I was in grade school, LOL). The wings are a part of the Sweet & Toxic Creeper set, and with Matilda's long hair it was easy to glue them on.
The rest is a mish mash of more Christmas paper scraps and whatever embellies were floating around on my desk. Yes, yes, it needs a good cleaning off yet again... but I'm not going to tackle that project until after the holidays. ;)
Okey dokey, I've got to scoot... work to get ready for ya know. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
