Welcome back, my lovelies!! Wasn't that fun?!! Now . . . quick question . . . How many days 'til Christmas? ANSWER: Not nearly enough for me to get everything done that needs getting done! LOL!! Story of my life, me thinks!! I did get something fabulous done, though . . . my card for this week's challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog! Yay!! And, yes . . . it IS another Christmas card! hehe! Just a few more to make and then I can make something non-Christmas-y!! But, I digress . . . this week's theme at Mo's is another fun one . . .

"D" is for . . .
(e.g., dogs, drums, dessert, die cuts, dancing, etc., etc., etc.)
 
And here's what I came up with . . .
I struggled with this week's challenge, I have to tell ya! In the end, though, I thought . . . DANCING!! You know . . . kind of a "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" thing. Oh ohhhhh...Sidebar: Did'ja see the cute Dancin' Baby calendar in my blog's um, er, sidebar?! hehe! That baby totally cracks me up!! Once again, I digress! I was talking about "Dancing" right?! Well, as luck would have it, I found this perfect little Mo Manning image called "Cutting the Rug"! You can find it HERE in Mo's online store. Here's an extreme close-up . . .
I was thinking that this would be a fun card to send out from my hubby and moi! Of course the little guy just had to be wearing khaki slacks and a blue blazer . . . that's my husband's "outfit of choice" . . . while mine is certainly not a dress . . . it's blue jeans! Not to mention the fact that my hair was only curly like this when I was 6 years old and had gotten a terrible "Shirley Temple" perm!! hehehe!! Enough about me . . . here's a bit of a side view . . .
My card "recipe" . . .
Image printed on Cryogen "metallic" cardstock
Red Riding Hood cardstock, ribbon, & clip: Stampin' Up
DP & brads  Bo Bunny's "Blitzen" collection
Sentiment: LOTV "Grunge"
Corrugated cardboard and inside sentiment: My stash
Copic Sketch markers & colored pencils

A peek at the inside . . .
And, one more view . . . of course . . .  
So, what'cha think? I'm pretty pleased with the outcome . . . especially since this week's theme sort of stumped me!
