Happy Friday bloggers! I know I'm happy it's Friday, as I have off work, although that will only be for another week yet. Week after next, I will be returning to work at the job I was laid off from in May. I will be a temporary employee again, BUT I will be getting paid more per hour than I am now, AND it's day shift. That's most important to me and my family, that we have what I like to call, a "normal" life. Working a full-time, second shift job is NOT for me!
Returning to our regularly scheduled programming now, how about a Christmas card?
I was in the mood to use a sketch again, so I decided to participate in 52 {Christmas}Card Throwdown's, Pick a Previous sketch challenge. I didn't have to go back very far to find one...I used their most recent, #52, from July:
Of course, the first thing I thought of when seeing the triangular element was "tree." BUT, I have a few colored Bugaboo images sitting on my desk, and this one (Christmas Mouse Present) fit perfectly. :)
Challenges:
12 Months of Christmas Link Up #20: ATG or optional Christmas Confectionery theme
CHNC #292: ATG Christmas
Crimbo Crackers #112: ATG
CHN Patterned Paper: ATG
Simon Says Monday: Celebrate!

Thanks for stopping by to have a look today...May God bless you!
