Jingle All The Way

Hey Everyone.... I have had a rough day or two. My daughter decided early evening she was going to smash her thumb in a toy chest her grandpa made for her. Welll needless to say we ended up at the hospital, getting x-rays, and thank goodness it did not need stitches. I did a wonderful job of getting it closed and to stop bleeding, but her grandparents made an appearance and playtime began... I don't know how many of you have been in the ER. A two year old who like to play, run, and scream because all her grandparents do is spoil her... drove me crazy. It got her all hyper, she couldn't sit still for the x-ray, her cut opened up again (of course causing her to scream and cry). OH did we have a night. In the end she did not go to bed until after 11 pm. Then she woke up 4 times last night.... definitely not a good night. Then the bandage... I have to keep it wrapped for 24 hours and cannot let it get wet.... how many two year olds can manage that? I swear I cannot catch a break with my fearless wild child.

Today we have a new challenge over at 

Paper Cutz

Our challenge theme is 

"Jingle All the Way"

So I hurried to make this card. I am still catching up from her being sick for almost a week, my computer breaking down on me, my printer going out, all while dealing with Thanksgiving, birthdays, and Christmas decor. I think in a hurry this came out wonderfully. I used an older Tilda. The papers are Bo Bunny's "Father Time Collection". I colored her with copics and embellished the card with the edges distressed in antique linen and walnut stain, twine, lace, pearls, MFT rolled mini roses, and a Jingle Bell.

This was such a fun card to make. It took me a bit between my daughter hurting her hand and then me having to watch her constantly. But I really hope you have a chance to come by and play with us over at Paper Cutz.
