Christmas Countdown

Christmas is creeping up on us.
Hubby and I spent several hours and more than several dollars Christmas shopping Saturday.


We wrapped what we bought Sunday afternoon and were feeling caught up until we realized one of the kids had 11 gifts, and one kid had two gifts.  SIGH.
We will have to balance that out a bit.


In the interest of time, I combined Friday MashUP & Mojo Monday.
I just about had an aneurism trying to combine a sketch, color and a specific image:

   

 
  1. Make a project featuring "Snowmen".
  2. Or Make a project using the colors "Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze & Basic Grey".
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Snowman project with the colors Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze & Basic Grey". 
After working on it for a while, I didn't like anything about what was coming together. I stepped away and came back after homework, dinner and Family Home Evening.
The final result, which I am very happy with, has the sketch, the colors and no snowman.

What do you think?


 

 All SU...
Stamps: Christmas Lodge, Welcome Christmas
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze
Embellishment: Clear & Pewter Embossing powder, Organza Ribbon, 
Misc: Snowflake die cut & Sizzix embossing folder


Goodnight and thank you all for the kind comments.
