ADFD, Craft Your Passion, and SOG Holiday Linky Party!

Good morning!  I am thinking about heading out to do a bit of Christmas shopping today.  Also - I can't believe I'm going to publicize this - I got my first real-true, honest-to-goodness gray hairs.  Like, that I need to color.  I'm 41 years old and I am so very thankful that it took this long, but it's still not like "oh yay - gray!"  ROFL  So I'm buying a box of hair color to apply before I go on my little trip back East at Christmas!  LOL

Today's card is for the:

A Day for Daisies

Tammy generously provided this adorable Snowman Scott image for us to use for this week's challenge, and I'm also linking up to the:

Craft Your Passion Challenge:  Snow

 

I colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added some ribbon from SU!  Sentiment is from Bross Artful Designs.  

There is a fun Holiday Linky Party going on at:

Some Odd Girl

I created a new card using Winter Mae, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Prismacolor markers.  DP is from MME, button, ribbon tag, and rick rack are from my stash.  Peace.

Dilly Beans & Jellypark

Holy rain!  We moved here in May and I was amazed that we went alllllll Summer and most of the Fall without any rain at all.  No need to mow the grass - the grass was dead, there was nothing to mow.  LOL  Well - we kept hearing that the rains come in Winter and I guess Mother Nature thinks it's Winter already!  It's been raining for days - we have flash flood warnings and all that, but the best part is that everything is GREEN!  So green, it's practically blinding when the sun comes out.  Makes you really appreciate the rain.

Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Dilly Beans: Pop Dots

I used my all-time fave character from Dilly Beans, Adriana's Mask, and turned her into a Christmas bandit (right, Megan?  hee hee).  I popped up her Santa hat (from Digi Darla) and the circle sentiment (Just Wordz clear stamps) with foam dimensional dots.

Next up - we also have a new challenge for you at:

Jellypark:  Stars are Brightly Shining

I used Wish on a Star, colored with Prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits and lots of Dazzlings Diamonds glitter.  Paper is a digi paper from Marisa Lerin (I printed the "twinkle twinkle little" directly on it).  Button, ribbon, pearl stickers, star brads, and alphabet letter stickers are all from my stash.

And last but not least - Jellypark has an adorable new release today, too:

And here's my card:

This DP is from My Mind's Eye, I LOVE the bright primary colors.  I added some buttons, star brads, and a ribbon tag.  Head on over to see what the rest of the team came up with and to play along with our fun Friday challenges!  Have a great weekend, everyone.  Peace.
