Brrr! It is so cold here! You know it's time to bundle up when only a couple of degrees separate your low and high temps for the day. ;)
Which of course gives me a fantastic excuse to just cuddle up and get cozy in my crafty room. It feels like I'm saying this every other post but my desk is a serious disaster zone so if I want to get anything done that will have to be tackled first. Wish me luck!
I honestly didn't think that I would get a card made for this week's Double Take Tuesday challenge over at TGF because I couldn't see working a rainbow color scheme into a Christmas card. BUT yesterday I remembered this striped print in an old Cosmo Cricket paper pad and I had to give it a go. This Miss Anya Scarves was already stamped up and waiting so I grabbed her and knew it was a great match when I saw all the stripes in her scarf. The resulting rainbow of colors that I used on her outfit may make it look like Anya got dressed in the dark, LOL, but I prefer to think of her as being an off-beat and confident individual. ;)
So she has proudly braved the cold to load up the car with Christmas gifts and the all important tree. Now it's time to return home for a warm cup of cocoa. And isn't that car cool? I actually found it in my gift wrapping stash as it is a gift tag that I got in a pack from Costco years ago. Needless to say I quickly appropriated it for my card making instead. It really helped to pull this whole rainbow of a Christmas card together if you ask me. :)
Alrighty folks, I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll chat at ya again manana

Amy I think this card ROCKS! I love Anya's scarf and hat. She just looks like a teenager that love herself some color for those cold winter days. Especially when you are headed out to pick that perfect tree. lol... Truly this card makes me smile. I love the car with it and the way you have incorperated the buttons into it as well. Great coloring as always my friend. You really are very talented as I can even see the shading on her scarf. I for one know mine would not have that much detail in it. We are cold like you as well. Yesterday wasn't too bad, but boy oh boy did I feel it this morning in our bedroom. It is just down right COLD! I managed to make 3 different cards yesterday, and now I have to clean my desk so that I can take the pictures and get onto my next project. :O) Never ending when it comes to the desk cleaning. lol.. Have a wonderful Sunday my friend. Hugs, Lisa
