{SSSC173}



YIPPEE!!!  It's December!!!  I can hardly believe it is here already and there are only 23 days until Christmas - I have soooooo much stuff to do between now and then.  We're hosting my family this year so we'll have 6-8 additional humans in the house plus *possibly* FIVE extra dogs!  I am really looking forward to it but the next few weeks are going to be extremely busy.  I haven't even started the Christmas shopping, we have to finish painting and getting the guest room ready so my nieces have somewhere to sleep and the list goes on...work, school, gym and somewhere in there I suppose I need to eat and sleep!

But right now I'm comfy and cozy in my craft room with my Christmas tunes cranked and I think that's where I'll be for the rest of the day trying to get a bunch of DT stuff done for this month.  I know everyone is busy this month but we'd love it if you joined us for a fun sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketches sometime over the next two weeks.  It's another stunner that is super-simple to make CAS...and quick:

I decided to leave the sketch just as it is and use a very simple sentiment from a MFT Pure Innocence set I found in my box...never inked...*sigh*


The color combo is from this week's CR84FN Color Challenge:
