home sweet home!

Looks I just made it!! whew.. nothing like beating the clock!!  I HAD to get ONE more challenge in for the TE bash - and NOT just ANY challenge, it is none other than our Queen of Stamping Perfection's color challenge!!!  It's no secret that Jodi rocks, but the last time I stamped with her she made me do piercing a card for about an hour, so I was NOT about to get on her bad side!!

I loved the colors Jodi chose for her challenge, I thought they would make a cool  Christmas card (besides, I just really wanted an excuse to use my Gingerbread House stamp again!). 

I used TSG19 sketch for this card, and not only do I love the sketch, but I am eternally grateful for it since I literally just did made this card on 4 hours of sleep!! I am just a big ol' mess right now and this awesome sketch spared me from having to think too much! (heaven forbid right?)

I cannot tell you how much I LOOOVE this paper.  Everything is from my July Key Ingredients, and I just can't get enough of it!  It just so happens that the colors Jodi chose match perfectly with the patterned papers in the kit!

I hope you guys got to play along with the Birthday Bash!  I had so much fun, and I can't wait for the next one!

Thanks for stopping by!!
