I've been in a really blah mood today. I'm thinking that a cold is coming on and just the thought of that is making me not want to do anything. I had a REALLY long day yesterday - the pedi course is going good (I am really enjoying it - and as an extra bonus I got a PINK pedicure tub *grin*), but the weather was rotten (lots of snow and icy roads) yesterday and I got in a minor car accident. No one was hurt and both vehicles were barely damaged but my insurance deductable is $700 - THAT's prolly the real reason for me feeling cruddy. Having a bill like that to pay (right before Christmas no less!) makes me just sick.
On a much happier note tho - I'll be releasing two more stamp sets on Monday :o) I am reallyreallyreally hoping that my copies get here tomorrow as the sneak peeks are to start Saturday on the ATS blog (and on here if I get my stamps in time!). I've seen a couple of samples from the ATS Design Team and can't wait to show you all!! If you liked my first sets I think you'll love the two newest ones *wink*.
OK onto the card - I haven't stamped since sometime last week but didn't want to leave y'all hanging and especially not have a sketch to share - so I sat down and whipped up this card - I kept it simple and really it only took maybe half an hour to make:
I used the Santa image from CC Designs North Pole set - stamped it onto white cardstock then colored him in with my Copic markers.
I added Liquid Pearls to his beard - swirling it around as I applied it - love the look of that!
It's hard to tell in the pictures but I added a Heidi Swapp Ghost Snowflake and a punched out (Martha Stewart) snowflake with a DoodleBug Sugar Coated brad.
I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment from my Christmas Sentiments set, some ric rac, and Bazzill brads.

Here's the sketch and the info:
- keyword to use when uploading to public galleries is AMYRS47
- link directly to your creation when posting a link to your card - why you ask? Check out this link for more info.
- have your card done and linked before next Thursday at 11pm EST in order to have it included with the participants links - other than that there is no time limits - this is all for fun!
- ANYONE can participate - you can use whatever products/stamps/embellies you want - sky's the limit :)
- I WILL remove any links I deem inappropriate and/or not post them with next Friday's sketch (self-promotional, spam, card not following sketch in any way etc etc etc) - so far I've been lucky and all those that have played along have been fabulous - but I'd rather say it now and just have that out there.

I will be back a little later today to add the links to last week's participants!! :o)
