Are you all ready for Christmas??? We will finally put up our *Christmas Tree* today. With us gone before Thanksgiving it just didn't happen....but I'm looking forward decorating today!!!
I'm still in AWWWWE that it's December already....this also means we have a new challenge host for the OCC and it's no other then my fabulous, super sweet friend Jenny Gropp!!! As you already know I had the pleasure of meeting her and some other amazing ladies not to long ago...if you like..... you can read about it right here.
Jenny is challenging us to the *12 Days of Christmas Song*....you can find all the details on the OCC Blog. There is also a prize to win this week...so make sure to check it out!!!
I decided to use the *12 drummers drumming* lyric and ran with it!!!
I used the awesome MTSC50 Sketch for my layout and I had to use the gorgeous Drummer Boy Set from Flourishes....it's just perfect for it!!!
Hope you have time to play along this week??? For all the DT Samples please visit the OCC Blog!!!

Here is my card for today's IC209 - Charm Lady Boutique. What an awesome little shop!!!
I was inspired by this Dark Disco Ball Pendant.
For my image I used the gorgeous new Peace & Joy Set from Our Daily Bread Designs.
The smaller snowflake from this Set was inked in Memento Desert Sand. The larger snowflake was inked in Versamark and heat embossed with Copper EP.
To finish the card off I distressed the edges, added the Gold Pearls and the Copper Ribbon.
Thank you for stopping by today.....have a great weekend!!!

Have fun with your Christmas decorations!! We are putting up our lights and all our other decorations in the house but waiting on the tree since we get a live one and it is too early here to put it up.
Gorgeous cards, kiddo! Love them both but that monochromatic snowflake on my favorite kraft cs is stunning.
We're putting our tree up this afternoon. I was hoping we would be getting snow like they predicted - perfect tree decorating weather. But so far, nothing...we'll see! Have a great weekend!
