SSSC199 & Curtain Call {Christmas Countdown}



OH. MY. LORD!!!! First off I just want to say how incredibly thankful I am that I have a warm home to lay my head - it is FREAKIN' COLD here.  Like, not just *chilly* but freeze-your-arse-off-in-less-than-a-minute cold. Yesterday when I woke up, it was -37C but with the wind, it felt like -49C! I'll convert that for all you Farenheit-ers...-34.6F or -56.2F with the wind chill - a perfect excuse to stay inside and craft, wouldn't you say?  :)

It's time for a new Sweet Sunday Sketch  - #199.  Can you believe it?  I bet Karen's got something fun up her sleeve for #200...we'll have to wait and see!  For now, here's the sketch for the next two weeks:



I used the current Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge for my card...it's all about Christmas this time of year:





I dug out an old There She Goes set, Holly Jolly for this one - LOVE the jingle bell accents, don't you?


Need to see more?  All of the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you, so please stop by and say hello to:
