Holiday Hedgehog

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

 

Hope your weekend was a good one. We had dinner with friends on Saturday night. It was a nice evening with 3 other couples. Sunday was just a bit of a laid back day after church. I made a big brunch with bacon, eggs, toast and pumpkin pancakes.

 

Today, I have a chiropractor appointment then off to the gym. When I return home I have a DT card due and then my preschool project for Tuesday. I want to have the kids do some sponge painting that will end up a turkey. They love doing their crafts and showing me when it's done.

 

Now, let's move onto my card for today. This one I made for both the color challenge #763 on Splitcoaststampers and a group DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. Jeanne was the hostess and she chose lovely lipstick, coastal cabana and blueberry bushel for her color trio.

I decided to go with a Christmas card. I used the new Holiday Hedgehog die from CottageCutz. His scarf and hat are cut in two of the challenge colors. For the circle background I sponged clouds with a cloud stencil using cracked pistachio distress ink. Its a good match for coastal cabana.

The background papers are from the Stampin'-Up "let it snow" collection. Where the 2 panels are joined, I used lovely lipstick ribbon. My sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn winter scripty sayings set and I stamped it in blueberry bushel.

Finished off my card by adding a few snowflakes. I used wink of stella to add a bit of sparkle but it doesn't show well in my photo. Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time......God bless.
