Have a joyous Christmas

Happy Saturday everybody!

I'm currently enjoying a weekend off. The decorating is done, shopping is done and while the weather outside may be frightful (only frightfully cold... at least the snow is holding off), inside it is so delightful. Since I've no place to go it looks like it is time to cuddle up and get crafty. ;)

I have a just for fun card today. Months back I got some of the new Gorjuss Girls from Santoro and besides the one that I inked up for Halloween, they have been feeling pretty neglected. I decided to change all that yesterday by grabbing this adorable Winter Friend Gorjuss Girl and having a play. Technically she's a bit altered because originally she is sitting on a polar bear but I wanted her to be seated on that paper panel instead so I just fussy cut her off the bear. I also hadn't used this fab Teresa Collins paper yet either and I love how it looks like Christmas themed newspaper ads. Of course I pulled all of my Copic colors from the paper and it's hard to tell in the pic but I used the gold Spica pen on the stars of her dress and the stripes on her stockings so she sparkles a bit. :)

Oh! And that circle with the sentiment... it's actually a window that shows through to the inside of the card. I used vellum and stamped the sentiment on it then heat set some white embossing powder for something fun and different than my norm. You know... just trying to shake things up a bit! LOL

Anywho, I think I'm going to go sit with a cup of cocoa for a spell, so I'll see ya later. Have a wonderful weekend my friends!

    Hi Amy. This is just so darn adorable! I love all the papers and your peek-a-boo sentiment. Too cute! I am glad to hear that you have the whole weekend off. It sure helps to get the spirit going. :O) It is so cold out that the frost is making it look like it snowed. I have a new little fireplace type heater and the tree is trimmed, so I am hand making my gift tags today so that I can get my gifts all wrapped and under the tree. Have a great day and stay warm. Hugs, Lisa
