Home For The Holidays

There's no place like home for the Holidays.  Right?  I think we all can agree on that!  Whatever your traditions, however many relatives you can jam under your roof, it's a time for love and laughter.  I LOVE Christmas......I truly do!  I remember when we were little my brothers would make me go downstairs and retrieve the stockings, I was more than HAPPY to do that!  They would lie in their warm cozy beds and open up their socks full of trinkets, while I sat on the hard, cold linoleum floor.  Can you tell I was the baby of the family?  :)  As soon as the last of the wrapping paper had hit the floor, they'd roll right over while I just wanted them to ooh and aah over my new Barbie.  Men!  lol

Sorry sometimes when I walk down memory lane I get lost.....but I'm back now.

Today's card is for a few Challenges:

Curtain Call, Welcome Home 

Penny Black, November Challenge

Simon Says Stamp, Anything Goes 

 

 

This beautiful stamp is part of the Home For The Holidays set available at Flourishes.  Colored with various Copic Markers.  I also used some Sakura pens to add a little sparkle, green throughout the vines, copper for the pine cones and hanging ornament, and red for the berries and doormat JOY (my most favorite word, in case you did not know!)  I also added some fine glitter to the stoop to mimic the sparkle of fresh fallen snow.   Background shape cut with my Cameo, and Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  Even the Hubby liked this card, so that's saying something!  :)

 

Definitely some time left on these Challenges, you should go check them out!

 

Until next time......enjoy~~
