Happy Holidays- Coloring with Spectrum Noirs

Happy Monday... hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! It's been kind of quite on my blog the past week. Little man is starting to teeth I think and he has been pretty fussy lately, so I haven't had much craft time this past week or so. I was able to get down in the craft room for a little bit tonight to do some creating. I did a periscope tonight while coloring this image and have got it all completed and put on a card so I thought I would share.

SPD22- Home for the Holidays

It's Wednesday, and I have the day off tomorrow.... cannot wait. I'm hopefully going to get some crafty time in but also want to spend some quality time with my boys.
We a new challenge going on over at the SugarPea Design blog, called "Home for the Holiday". You can interpret it how ever you would like. I think it's suiting being the Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner.
I went with a really clean and simple card this time around.
I decided to really play with the theme of the challenge and make a festive front door of someones home.
SPD-Funky-Wreath---All-Seasons
SPD-Funky-Wreaths---Christmas
SPD-SugarCuts-Funky-Wreaths-All-Seasons 
SPD-SugarCuts-Funky-Wreaths---Christmas
 
I just die cut my desired elements first and then stamped using some Memento Inks.
I added some gold Thicker numbers to the wreath as well as some glitter to berries and a pearl on my bow.
I hope you all enjoy and will find some time to come and play along in the challenge. You can see all the other design team creations HERE as well as the link to add your creations.
Thank you all for stopping by.
