Hello stamping friends!
Well yesterday ended up being a great first day of school - for both the kids and for me! After getting the kids off to school, I did a little work then had a hair appointment. Before my hair appointment, I dropped my Yorkie at the vet for her grooming appointment. I had a few minutes to spare so I ran across the street to Target to pick up a new Stephanie Plum novel (I just started reading the series so I'm only on the 2nd book). Anyway, I grabbed a diet coke in the cafe on the way out and ended up wiping out landing Charlie-Brown-kicking-a-football style flat on my back! I ended up throwing the soda and new book up in the air in the process! Apparently the rug was wet so my shoes got wet while getting my soda which caused me to slip on the shiny-slick tile. I'm fine - nothing hurt except my pride. It probably would make for a funny video contest!! LOL
After my fall, I made it to my appointment to get my hair colored and cut then to a sushi lunch with a friend. Followed by a pedicure. I made it home with 30 minutes to spare before the kids got home. By that time it was time to pick the dog up from the groomers so I picked the kids up at the bus stop, went to pick the dog up, then we all went out for a first-day-of-school-ice-cream!! Yum!!
And to top it all off, I had put a pot roast in the crock pot so dinner was practically already made!! Not a bad day if I say so myself. Of course, I did have to spend time time on the computer working last night since I didn't any work done during the day.
Ok...enough chit-chat...
I am the host for the new ABC Christmas Challenge. We are now on Q so our challenge is:
Q is for Quote (plus an image)
You must include a Christmas quote or sentiment or your card must be based on a Christmas Quote or Carol.
We have two sponsors this challenge...
Fabulous prize of 5 Robyn's Fetish digital products
This may be 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 paper set.
For my card, I used a Bible Quote (perfect for Christmas if I might say so)...
I used Herald Angel and Let us Adore Him by High Hopes Rubber Stamps. The sentiment is from an old retired Stampin' Up Set (I think it's called "City of David").
The papers are Tis the Season from Kaisercraft along with some Black Ric Rac and Pearls.
More views...
Now it's your turn!!
Oh, before you go, make sure to check out the fun new tutorial over at the High Hopes Blog.
And don't forget about my candy here.
