I DID IT!! I finished wrapping the presents. Well, OK - that's not the truth... I'm done wrapping the "immediately necessary" gifts - the ones for my nieces can wait for a bit 'cause we're not going to see them at Christmas anyways. My parents are coming up on Christmas Day and they will take those ones back with them.
I found two more challenge blogs to add to my ever-increasing list:
Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge and
Just Us Girls Challenge. The JUGS challenge this week is a color challenge but it's not always a color challenge.
These were kinda hard colors to work with - I have no trouble putting light pink with red, but a stronger raspberry pink just doesn't "do it" for me. Nonetheless, I persevered and came up with this:
Recipe - Stamp: Wreathabella (Stamping Bella), Ornamental Christmas (sentiment, Verve) Ink: Old Olive, Versafine Onyx Black Paper: Real Red textured, Rose Red, Old Olive, Kraft, Whisper White, SU! DP Accessories: Nestabilities (pinking circles and circle), Argyle embossing folder, paper piercer, Copics, Kraft taffeta ribbon, Purely Pomegranate ribbon, Old Olive twill ribbon, metal clip, sponge dauber
I think that's it for me - three cards is enough for one day. Probably won't have much time to craft tomorrow as I have to hit the gym in the middle of the day and the laundry is starting to pile up again. I *think* I'm pretty much ready for Christmas - are you?
