Clearly Inspired Challenge #3

Hello everyone! It's Friday, and there seems to be so much to do today. We need to start school soon, hehe, and later tonight we have a Christmas party for my husband's Squadron.

My first sneak was done with one of my favorites called Chubby Chickadee and What a Tweet. That little chick is so darn cute and can be colored in so many different ways, as you'll soon see when checking out all of the other DT's sneaks. So do you like my little treat holder? I thought it was just too fitting. A little Hershey bar fits in there perfectly!

I made a 'Honey Do' list (it will be filled with fun things for my man to do when he gets home from deployment, hehe). This was so fast and easy to make and will end up on my fridge, so that Jim will see it every time he reaches in there to grab the milk {giggle}.

Since it is the end of the month, it's time for some Clear Dollar Stamps Sneak Peeks! I have a couple of stamps to show you, and they are all great for making fun and fast items.

Color Dare

Since we've taken the week off of school, I thought I would be more productive. Let's just say I'm typing this in my jammies. . .at almost noon, lol. Don't judge me, I did make a card. After this fun, I will dress and probably start pulling down Christmas decorations. I love decorating for Christmas!

This card is for the Color Dare challenge. The colors this week are So Saffron, Soft Suede, and Real Red. What a pretty combo, right? For some reason this week, I've been pulling out some of my first loves from Clear Dollar Stamps. This set, Winter Eskimo, is another that I just fell in love with over there, and so I was reminiscent as I inked it up.
