May Your Days Be Merry & Bright..

Hi all! And a Very Happy Thursday evening to you! I am doing a super quick post today from Starbuck of all places.. lol  I am enjoying my very first Peppermint Latte of the Season, believe it or not, all due to the Lovely fact that we have no power in my neighborhood right now.. Actually there are several neighborhoods without power right now, and no word as to when it will be restored.  And it's all due to a Whopper of a wind storm that we had last night.. It was a doozie, I tell ya.  We lost the majority of our tree in our front yard, several large branches snapped and a lot of our neighbors lost trees too.. Luckily no one was hurt and none of the trees fell on any houses or cars..So that was a huge Blessing. 8-)
Okay, real quick before my computer dies..lol here is my creation inspired by the Fabulous Ladies at CR84FN latest Color Challenge #43.

I really Loved the colors this time! Just Gorgeous!  My Mats & BG panels were created with a combination of Olive, Ivory and Kraft CS from my stash. My I/O Snowflakes were stamped with White pigment Ink, Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo Distress inks. My I/O Holly Jolly Christmas text was stamped with Vintage Photo Distress ink as well. my I/O sentiment was stamped onto a Classic Ovals Die cut using more Vintage Photo Distress ink and popped up with a few dimensionals. To finish it all up, I inked all my edges, added some fun gold adhesive pearls, a bit velvet ribbon from my stash and some Lace and a kraft die cut doily both from MAD Stamper Finds ... Pretty easy peasy, huh?.. 8-)

Oh, here's a quick pic of what you see looking out the front door of my house.. Yikes! 8-)  So glad no one was hurt and no houses or cars were damaged..

Thanks so much for stopping by & Hope you all have a Safe, Warm & Wonderful evening! 8-)
