Yesterday must have been the hottest day of the year so far, so when I saw the fabulous sketch over at this week's Friday Sketchers #58, what did I do ?? That's right ... I made a Christmas card! Not sure why ... the sketch just kinda struck me that way!
I used one or two new items from my stash ... I have had the cute hedgie for some time but not inked him up until now; and last week I bought a new MS embossed snowflake punch, as I figured if I got in early I could get one before the Christmas rush lol!
Recipe:Main image: Penny Black "Fur collared", watercoloured and decorated with diamond Stickles;
Sentiment: Stamps Away;
Papers: BasicGrey "Wassail";
Supplies: flowers and star from Prima Christmas bubble; charm from Dolls Made Up; fancy edging punched with Martha Stewart "embossed snowflake" edge punch.
Hope you're enjoying the fab weather - take care in the heat!

btw: everytime I try to open your blog I get thrown off! It does however always let me on the 2nd time! Very odd! This happens to 2 blogs that I follow and its always the same 2! Maybe you have the best security system?!
That's a nice change of pace, as it has been squelching hot where I live for weeks now. Kinda wishin' I was hedgie right about now. Very cute card, love the stickles on the stocking and that punch is precious.
