It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

...CHRISTMAS! 

Really? Well, this morning I realized that we have 113 shopping days left until the big day. I think it's safe to say the holiday season will be here before we know it. To get in the mood, I decided to use this week's Mojo Monday sketch to inspire a little holiday cheer. Since it's STILL almost 100 degrees here in Texas, snowflakes seem completely appropriate, right? 

Yes, I know it's Friday and I'm just getting around to Monday's sketch. I have been slacking in the creative department this week, *sigh*, there just aren't enough hours in the day sometimes! I had a creative day with my friend, Mandi on Wednesday, which really helped jump-start my productivity. Whew, thank goodness for THAT! 

I am smitten with this color combo, brought to you once again, by the SU! Color Coach. How in the world did I survive before this little tool came into my creative life?? I honestly do not think I have EVER used Bravo Burgandy or Sahara Sand before today!

I was really inspired by the simplicity of this week's sketch. I thought it would be fun to break in my (brand spankin' new) Serene Snowflakes set which has been sitting here, un-inked, since LAST Christmas. Because I JUST finished cleaning up my stamp room from the last glitter explosion, I decided to bust out some silver glitter for a fun accent around the main image. What a mess, but totally cute! Add a little embossed sentiment and some bling and there you have it, HOLIDAY CHEER...just in time for Labor Day! Hee Hee!
