So, I got side-tracked off my Twelve Days of Christmas Cards postings. I got distracted on Friday by taking one kid to the doctor because of an endless cough and a little bout of stomach flu. No worries, I'd have the weekend to catch up, right?
I was SO excited to have a weekend with "nothing" going on. No parties, no places to go, no big errands to run. I had a breakfast date with my son and then my lovely father-in-law arrived. He not only brought us winter tires and put them on the car (THANK YOU, THANK YOU!), he took the kids away for a few hours!
Yay!
That's shiny!
Okay, so put aside stamping for a bit...let's go Christmas shopping for the kids and out for lunch. It was great, we went to our favourite Indian place, then across the street to our favourite toy store and topped it off with a yummy holiday drink before heading home.
I fully planned on capping off my wonderful day by spending the late afternoon and evening stamping and watching a movie with my husband.
Cue the stomach flu!
Yuck!
I'm beginning to feel myself again and got stamping again this evening. I turned to CAS -- Colours and Sketches and The Paper Players for colour and sketch inspiration for today's Christmas card:
I LOVE this colour combination and the sketch is so versatile.
