The Outlawz Friday Coloring Anything Goes/Christmas Twist Challenge

Howdy doody! Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. A good day to stay home, in my humble opinion. I really do not like fighting crowds for a bargain. I'd rather go without. Or, shop online, like I usually do. So much easier. My fingers don't get tired. And I am in a peaceful state of mind. Well, at least until the computer freezes up, or a website does. Or my email stops working. Or I forget my credit card number. Hmmm...I guess there are advantages to both types of shopping, but online is at least physically safer. (Isn't it?)

I have been spending a good part of every day in my backyard, sitting in my glider, gazing at my pool, or reading a book. I am lovin' it! So is Donovan. He sits on my lap after he inspects all his trees and shrubs. And we got our four strap lounge chairs on Tuesday. They look really nice out there, all done up in turquoise and gray. We think we will order some matching strap dining chairs to go along the back side of the house. These chairs are commercial grade and very sturdy. Love them! How lucky am I? Believe me, I know, I know...

Switching gears, last Sunday was really awful for Cardinals' fans. What an ugly game! I am so glad I didn't watch it. We certainly hope for better this week in Atlanta. If we cannot win there, against a 4-7 team, we have no business in the playoffs. 'Nuf said...

I am terribly behind in my blog comments, and I apologize to everybody. I will catch up soon. I promise! I would make excuses, but sitting outside or making cards really doesn't cut it, right? I have to do better. And I will...

Our sponsor this month, The East Wind, is home to so many wonderful digis! Do check them out! Our randomly-selected participant will win a prize of three digital images.

 

This week's card is another Christmas card. Yay! Hope to make a few more before the season is over. I used a Make It Crafty image, Steampunk Christmas Tree, printed it on X-Press It BC, and colored it with my Copics: YG61, YG63, YG67, R12, R14, R17, T0, T1, T2, T4. Then I added a bit of Wink of Stella Brush Silver, some Diamond Glaze, a Wild Orchid Crafts charm, a couple of rhinestones, some Stampin' Up Sweater Trim Ribbon, and die cuts made with Cheery Lynn Holly Corner and Memory Box Frosted Christmas Tree dies. My DP, from Doodlebug Design Inc. Home for the Holidays collection was Zutterized and paired with Stampin' Up CS. That's it.

I hope you will check out the fab inspiration by my talented teammates: Carla, Dawn, Kathi, and Laine! (Such a great group to work with!) Then color up an image for your creation, using any coloring medium, and play along with us, won't you?

Have a wonderful weekend! (And don't go crazy shopping!)
