These things I love:
* the darling old-fashioned mailbox in this Penny Black Hand Mailed image
* the fact that the sticker labels on the Penny Black wood-mount stamps are in full color - they're great when you're getting started on your coloring!
* Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses patterned paper
* Prismatics Blush Red Dark card stock - the absolute *perfect* Christmas red - deep, rich, and velvety
* sparkle - the snow glitter on the ground and on the top of the mailbox, the subtle shimmer from the white sheer ribbon, the Frosted Lace Stickles on the snowflakes
* It's mid-October and I already have a small, but decent stash of one-of-a-kind handmade holiday cards to send!!!! Much better than starting on 80-100 cards on the 22nd of December. Been there, done that - never again!
* sketch challenges - this layout is last week's SCS sketch challenge (okay, sort of, I modified it just a bit)
Thanks for visiting!

Oh My GOODNESS...you just keep amazing me and amazing me each and every time you post something new! Oh to live in your brain for at least 24 hours! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
Wow Amy! Another beautifully colored card! I have to admit I'm feeling pretty proud of myself- I've been working like crazy to get some projects done before we head out on a family vacation. I've been stamping and scheduling my posts for the next week. Well, my card for tomoorow looks very similar to yours today! I have a different image but I used the Eskimo Kisses paper, same color scheme, and glitterfied a snowflake punch and even put a red button in the middle of it! I've also got black brads in my corners! I'm sorry that it looks so close to yours but I'm just grinning because I figure I MUST think like you!! (Maybe your coloring genius will start to rub off on me too!) As always, thanks for the inspiration!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
