Burnin' Rubber...rubber stamps that is...

Day 5 of my Christmas Countdown...

Yesterday was not as productive as I hoped it would be. WHAN! It was my own fault though. I was just too darn lazy. I couldn't even get out of my jammies until 4pm. What is up with that? I didn't get my errands done, didn't get any stamping done. No house cleaning, no shopping. UGH! I know better than that. Now I am going to have to cram it all in today. I better get my Super Powers activated!! LOL

But before I do that, let me show you the card I made fr TCP Tuesday. Yes, it has been a VERY long time since I have participated. It felt great! Check it out...

 

The challenge this week was to use the following colors:

 

I pretty much followed the challenge deets but I had to add a darker pink and my vanilla is really craft white because my vanilla craft pad doesn't show up as well on the kraft. I am pleased as punch with the results though. So cute! These new stamps from The Cat's Pajamas are absolutely adorable! Don't be surprised if you see more of them over the next week. I have several more ideas swimming through my head right now (love that!). 

Alright, I think I am going to go get some coffee and then get started on all the stuff I was supposed to do yesterday.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS Sunday!!

Peace out Peeps!
