The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan - 7 things

Hi all!  I'm trying to get back into my regular blogging schedule since all my travels.  So far, it's not going as well as I hoped.  Between Peanut's activities and work, I've been REALLY busy.  

I ran a 5 K yesterday as part of my working toward running the Disney half marathon in January.  Who would have thought exercising could take so much time?

Today, I want to share my card for The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan.  Our challenge this week is to use 7 things on your card.  I used 7 pearls.  I realized that I'm really behind on Christmas cards, so I thought this is as good a time to start as any.  I used Wish List Letter to Santa by etc. by Danyale.  I love the journaling elements in this kit.  I added a sweet Christmas Tilda to finish my card.

Here are the colors I used to color Tilda.  I'm in love with the red and brown color combo, which I learned about in my Created from Color Basic Class.  Totally worth it if you're looking to improve your coloring skills.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says - anything goes

2. ABC Christmas - S is for Santa Clause

3. The Paper Shelter #83 - anything goes

Happy Crafting!

Hi all!  Sorry I haven't been around very much.  I've been traveling the last six weeks, and I'm finally home.  I'm glad to be home and I'm still really tired.  I spent the last three weeks in Germany so the jetlag is still winning.  
We're having a party at Cupcake Inspirations this week.  We're sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  Here's our inspiration cupcake for this week:

Here's my card featuring Cocktail Sassy.  I chose a simple design with some bling.  I colored the image with Copics on Make It Colour blending card.
