Don't Open Until Christmas

Hi! I've had a rough day. I woke up at 6:15 a.m. to sing at church. After church I went Christmas shopping for one hour before I had to head to work. I worked till 9:00, and although I'm a very good driver, I was in a hurry to get home so I set my cruise for 59 mph even though it was snowing. The roads did not appear slippery at all. Next thing I knew, my car accelerated on a curve and the car went out of control. I couldn't slow it down or get it back in control for anything. I fish tailed numerous times, then I just started spinning in circles, and finally the car just flew off the road and into the air and five feet down an embankment. Miraculously both me and my car came out of without a scratch, but my pocket book is now $200.00 dollars poorer because I had to call a tow truck. I'm so mad at myself. If I hadn't set my cruise, none of this would have happened. It took me two extra hours just to get home. I'd be in bed in right instead of writing this post. Ugh!I know I should be grateful it wasn't worse, but all I can think about is the loss of time and money. But everyone was sure nice and helpful. Two good Samaritans stopped and tried to help me. One even tried to drive my car up out of the ditch, but that was obviously impossible. Two sheriff officers came by and were very sweet, and the tow truck driver was very nice too. No one made me feel stupid, and everyone said there were multiple accidents tonight.

Anyway, onto my card. The Christmas Tree image is from the set 'Wrapped in Love' by Paper Fashions. The sketch is by MFT (MFTWSC46). The paper is My Mind's Eye 'Twelve Days of Christmas'. The sentiment tag is actually a button I purchased from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts. I put Stickles on the Star and added a sparkly ribbon and adhesive crystals for embellishment.

Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Go Green!'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's challenge is 'Go Green!'. Simply make a card or project with a bit of green on it and be sure to include at least one digital element. Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi Downloads.

To make my card, I used an older Di's Digital Downloads image called "Memories". My 'bit of green' is simply in the bluish/green color and in the leaves of the flowers. I mounted the main image panel up on dimensionals, and put Stickles on the flowers in the image.

If you'd like to play along with us this week, simply click on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blinkie in my sidebar and it will take you directly to the Challenge Site with further instructions.

Have a great day! Amy

Wrapped in Love

Hello! First of all, thanks for all your sweet comments on my last post. I've been a little absent in blogland lately because my life is so stressful right now, so it's nice to see my blog friends visiting and leaving sweet comments even if I can't visit all of their blogs at the time. I've been working like crazy getting the store ready for Black Friday weekend, then that weekend of course was crazy, now today is my day off, and I will spend the entire day at church decorating it for Chrismas, then I go back to work tomorrow (having to wake up at 3:30 a.m.), work 3 more days, then I have Thursday off, of which I'll spend the entire day at church again finishing the Xmas decorations, then back to work again Friday, Saturday, Sunday, before I have a day off again. Tis the Season!

Anyway, enough of my whining, onto my post. Today's card features an image from Paper Fashions called "Wrapped in Love". This set comes with a tree and present image, and several sentiments too. I used the snowman image. My sketch is by MFT (MFTWSC43). I popped the main image panel up on dimensionals. The ribbon is from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts.

Have a great day! Amy
