The Outlawz Friday Coloring Anything Goes/Christmas Twist Challenge

Another mouthful for a title, yes? Still think acronyms would be easier. Drat, I just got that pop-up again for backing up my computer. Do you get them? I find them quite annoying and always have to delete them, as I am easily distracted. Where was I? Oh, yes, our new challenge. You can use any medium to color any image this week. And, if you are like me, you will take the opportunity to make another Christmas card per our twist. I am still woefully short in my finished cards for this holiday season. If I find my mojo, I just may make a few Christmas cards during the upcoming months. Egads! It's almost September. How in the you-know-what did that happen?

We are sponsored this month by the inimitable Bombshell Stamps, where you will find really fun and unusual images. Our randomly-selected participant this month will receive a choice of a digi set! So get your entries in quickly.

Hope you have had a good week! I have--I am still reading like a fiend; am now on the fifth book of the Outlander series. Yes, this is an addicting story for old ladies. Not too sure about anybody else, but I am really loving it. Will be disappointed when I finally finish it, I am sure. Of course, there is always the next book, and the next, and so on. 

My image this week is one from Rick St. Dennis, called Night Before Christmas Santa. He was a fun one to color, as Rick puts in so many shading lines to follow. I printed the image on X-Press It BC, and colored it with my Copics and Twin Touch Brush markers:

Skin:  E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: W00, W0, W1, W3

Fur Trim: E40, E41

Suit: E07, E09, TTR1

Fabric Trim/Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67

I used Stampin' Up CS for this card, added a bit of Washi tape, and cut some stars with Spellbinders Classic Stars dies. Yes, that's it. A rather CAS card this week--but easier for mailing at Christmas, don't you think?

So, have you got plans for this holiday weekend? I actually do not. I think I will veg a bit. Translation: read--a lot. The NFL played their last preseason games last night, so we won't see any more until next weekend. Bummer. I am anxious for the new season to start. Especially since I am NOT in any Fantasy leagues. I will have stress-less football this fall, and am really looking forward to that!

Do stop by and check out the fab creations by my talented teammates: Carla, Dawn, and Kathi! And then color something up and play along with us, won't you? Looking forward to seeing what you create!

Have a wonderful week!
