MyGrafico Monday - Red, Green, and NOT for Christmas

Are you in the midst of holiday hustle and bustle? If only we had longer periods of daylight, I don't think I'd feel as tired and overwhelmed!! My mom & I had a great weekend, and she loved the card. I even had her help finishing up my decorating when state officials were advising against driving Sunday morning.


Okay....on to the card! This week is the last MyGrafico challenge for 2009. The design team is taking a break for the remainder of December. When we return in 2010, there'll be a whole new design team....so be sure to be on the lookout!! This week's Monday challenge is to use RED & GREEN on anything that is NOT Christmas......I think a lot of us need just a little break :)


Here's the set that's up for grabs:

Isn't it super cute!!! Think of all the kids cards & invitations! Don't ya just love that owl in the hot air balloon :) And it's only $4!! You can either head here to pick it up or join us for the challenges this week and win the set.


Here's what I came up with:

I love this little guy on the boat & I'm really happy with my coloring of him. I don't always think I've done anything special with my coloring, but I'll pat myself on the back with this one :) This card also follows the sketch (146) at Card Positioning Systems. I was stumped for a layout this week and really liked their sketch! Thanks CPS :)


Details:
Stamps - Zoom Vroom set (Cocoa Studios for MyGrafico)
Ink - Copics
Paper - kraft, white, Real Red; dp - Bitty Stars (PTI)
Accessories - star punch (Fiskars), button (PTI), baker's twine (Martha Stewart), ribbon, dimensionals

I love this! Clean, simple and adorable! And I agree - we need more daylight hours to get everything done this time of year!
