Making spirits bright...

Good morning! 

OMGosh it is so freakin' cold here! Last night we got down to 2 degrees, and my fingers are actually cold while I sit here and type... but, still no snow so I'm trying not to complain. :)

I got a card made for this week's Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm, which is All That Sparkles. I hadn't inked up this Anya Strolls stamp yet and there is a part of me that really enjoys altering them a bit to work with that bag stamp from the Dress Me Anya set. So I wiped away the leash and the pup then re-drew in the missing part of her leg. Her hand positions were perfect for a few festive shopping bags and I even added a bit of tissue paper to them for a fun finishing touch. I added sparkle to her bags and outfit with a Stardust glitter pen and topped the card off with a sprinkling of bling to really hit home with the challenge. All in all I really enjoyed putting this card together and it makes me want to see some new Big Time Anyas joining the TGF family sooner rather than later... fingers crossed!

Ok, I might have to go hop back under the covers for a bit to really warm up. Hope you all are managing to stay warm and toasty. 
Laters!
