Oh boy, do I have some new stuff. I just couldn't stop shopping sales this Christmas. I bought myself a lot of presents. The newest being this sweet SU Christmas Crowd thanks to my dear friend, justampin, and her enabling. Also hit a Lawn Fawn Cyber Monday sale and finally bought this speech bubble border die that I've been eying for some time. Also got this sweet sentiment set too. Yes, I'm still making Christmas cards. I didn't get to see my cousin and her kids on Christmas, so I will mail them gift cards. I just needed one more card.
I stamped the image in Versafine Clair and watercolored with my Tombow markers. I wanted to get some practice. Still looks like a kid colored it to me. I painted the sky with Desmond's liquid watercolor (he bought it for himself at Hobby Lobby recently) finished with some wink of Stella on the snow and the fun speech bubble. I'm glad I bought myself these Christmas gifts!

Gifting yourself is sure fun and you have gleaned lots of goodies! That Christmas crowd is lots of fun and colorful to boot - glad to see it heading into the new year.

I love this Santa scene and love your coloring and card. It looks like you are getting a wonderful start on your cards for next year too. I am with you, I hit up so many sales. LOL! But I love my new toys.

You sound like me, I wait for the sales and then, I must have the stamps or whatever! This is the perfect challenge to get us to use those new purchases! Darling card Jen!
