Just Chillin'

Good Afternoon!  Hope you're all rested with that extra hour of sleep!  I know I made good use of my bonus time. 

Today's card is for a Sketch Challenge over at JUGS, hosted by our Gal Pal, Sharyn.  This will also be entered in to the Challenges at Simon Says Stamp, Wednesday Challenge and Penny Black, November Challenge, both Anything Goes. 

Here's Sharyn's Sketch:

 
I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card as the clock is ticking.  It's going to be here before you know it.  People are going to panic when they realize how late Thanksgiving is, and then realize that Christmas is less than 4 weeks after.  EEK!  You have been warned!  lol
 
 
I just fell in love with this snowman from Gina K Designs, Let It Snow stamp set.   He's just so COOL!  And cute!  I used some great paper from Basic Grey, Nordic Holiday.  (and I almost actually lined it all up, grrrr.....oh well).  Lightly colored with Copic Markers.  Sakura Star Pen adds a touch of glitz to the embossed snowflakes and his buttons.  Paper punched snowflakes and corner tabs and a button to complete the layout.  He is just one cool dude!
 
Plenty of time to play in the Challenges, hope to see you there.
 
Thanks so much for popping by!
 
 
Enjoy your afternoon and evening!

    As I hate doing it I will admit at the beginning that this is a copy and paste comment as I am unable to type properly at the moment, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a look at your lovely creation and thank you for joining us at Penny Black and More this month.

    Oh, this is adorable Donna. I love the corner pieces. At first glance, I didn't see those, I thought you had done something with the designer paper. Yes, I know I need new glances. I can still see well enough to know this card is wonderful!
