I have to start by saying that it is Friday for me...I know this is early for the Twisted Sister Challenge but I am having trouble with my computer (or is it having trouble with me!!?) and I am not sure how it will be tomorrow...so hence the early upload....please be gracious to me...I am suffering from sleep deprivation from feeding the puppies - which I must add they are 8 days old and all doing well!!
For a lot of people the New Year means after Christmas SALES...and that's what this card is all about....I like to think that these 3 ladies are serious stampers heading off to enlarge their collection of stamps, DP's, bling, ribbon and all of those treasures....sigh...if only!! I have used brads and nail bling and also added lace, as it can be considered 'blingy' in a feminine way!! I must add that I love this image and it was part of a RAK from none other than our very own Pat Smethers, she is such a darling....as are you all!
The flourish is from a die cut lent to me from my friend Hannah (aka bubblefrog) who is away for Christmas and has left me all her CB EF's and die cuts - how much fun can 1 person have!!?? I have run everything through the CB from cereal boxes to silver pie plates....I am loving it!!!
This card also fits with this weeks SC so I am feeling pret-ty good about that too!! I do hope you had a blessed Christmas and I am looking forward to our time together on SCS on 2009...
Thanks for looking and for your very kind and encouraging comments - you make my day!!

Very sassy indeed! I love what these girls are shopping for! You did a great job with this image. Lace, flourish, nail bling- I say you have nailed the challenge! (However, I would love to see a card made from a cereal box run thru a CB! You nut!) Maybe the next challenge? Glad you are having fun playing, and hope the pups let you rest. Beautiful card!

Oh this is cool Linda...Aren't you the early or old bird! LOL Well, did you get your worm. Only kidding, being silly here on the day after Christmas, must be that eggnogg. LOL
Love this card, well I am a wee bit jealous about that cuttlebug you are experiencing with. Won't you look at that swirl thing going on there! WOW girl you sure rocked that challenge. Cuttlebug on pie plates got my attention!

This is so darling Linda. They look so perky! I will be jealous of them. Right now I more resemble Perk's card. I fell like Santa ran over me with his sleigh. Wonderful Christmas - just crashing!

Perfect post-holiday card! I've got the bug myself to be out shopping, but am still snowed in! Darned side-streets just seem to stay icy. Lovely card, lovely Linda! tfs
