Happy Post-Thanksgiving Monday! Have you recovered from the turkey and stuffing feast? I must tell you, with absolutely NO modesty, that I prepared the best turkey we have ever had! Really. I brined the turkey and stuffed it with lemons and oranges, onion and garlic, and finally fresh herbs. It was THE BEST! Next time I will use a bigger turkey... We ran out of meat far too soon.
As good as it was, and it WAS GOOD, the turkey was not the highlight of the holiday. I had all three of my "children" home from their various locations. Aaron, a teacher in another part of the state, was here for just two days due to a Basketball Tournament at his high school. Bethany was in from the College of Charleston until Saturday night. And Ian went back to college in Atlanta on Sunday. We also had our friends the Conrads and their new baby daughter Sophie over for Thanksgiving day. Doug and I learned to play Catch Phrase and Apples to Apples. We had so much fun that I purchased the lastest versions of both games at Target on Saturday.
Okay, so enough of my holiday. The challenge cut at Bitten by the Bug this week is the telephone on the From My Kitchen cartridge. I used various papers from the SEI Winter Song cardstock set to cut my telephone and accessories. And WHO would I be calling at this time of year? Hello, Santa?
I am hoping to put in my last minute orders with the big guy.
I added Prima poinsettias and leaves to my card, as well as Season's Greetings ribbons. I also used my favorite black pen to add a few dots, as well as a copic red marker. I used red metallic paper for a few of the embellishing cuts. I also used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut the scalloped circle tag.
The good news about this card is IF Santa's line continues to be busy, the card will fit an A2 envelope so I can drop this cardin the post. There is still plenty of time for a North Pole delivery before Santa's sleigh is packed..
One additional note, be sure to go by the Gypsy Spot. Today is the last day to register for the Gypsy give-a-way!! This is your chance to pick up a free Gypsy. What a great pre-Christmas gift for yourself!!!!
