Sparkly AND Spooky ...

Hold on, man. We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title. ~From Scooby-Doo

Good morning!

I’m here to share my card for the new color challenge which started today at The Outlawz Challenges!

Our sponsor is Fabrika Fantasy with a prize of 3 images from their store

This week we have a Tic-Tac-Toe boards for your to use. Just pick your … er … poison. Row 1, 2 or 3 vertical or horizontal … or corner to corner! Paid attention to what is written in some of the squares!

I am using the first row, vertical which worked out really well with this pre-colored image I used.

Not gonna lie, kinda giggled as I was adding the background behind our sweet little bunny boy (just working to cover the spooky part lol). I giggled a little harder when I pulled the sentiment from my shelf!

Personally, I think this card is hilarious, but then I’ve been told I have a twisted sense of humor on occasion.

Happy Holidays!

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

Sassy little Owl ...

Thou hast given so much to me, Give one thing more, — a grateful heart; Not thankful when it pleaseth me, As if Thy blessings had spare days, But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise.

~George Herbert

Light of Christmas ...

The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful. We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days, their carnivals and festivals, but once in the year and only once, the whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. ~Author Unknown
