Peace - Jingle Belles Style

I have been an absentee blogger. Oh, well. Been outta town, etc, etc. You know how it goes, right? But, at least I made it back in time to play in this week's Jingle Belles challenge. YAY!!! So much fun.

This week it's a sketch challenge brought to us by Allison Fillo. Stop by her blog and see all the inspiration, but first here's her sketch:



I had a TON of fun with this sketch because, well, I spent my entire morning in chat with my good friend, Leslie - The Crooked Stamper - and we played and played and played!! She created an amaaaaazingly gorgeous card and I got a little stuck. I think after seeing her pretty card I wasn't sure where to go with mine. I had to eat and then regroup before I could finish mine. HAHHAH!! Food is so important. ;)

So after knowing how beautiful Leslie's card was and thinking, "okay, should I just make a card covered in teeny little roses, too?" I just kept at it and came up with this:



I think the Webster's Pages paper does ALL the work for me. :) Love that stuff.

Thank you, Leslie, for another "squeeeeeee-filled" day! You ROCK! :) Hope everyone else has a squeeee-filled week! :)
