JJ Christmas Box Surprise

For some reason this image and sentiment (JJxmasbox)made me laugh.  I could use a good laugh right now during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

When you open the card, the sentiment can kinda catch you by surprise.  This is "so not me".  I'm not ready for the dog house, but I also know I'm not in college anymore darning the tight hip hugger pants and hair to my waist....haha   I still have my hips...still have hair....and I can see my waist. I guess that still has to count for something. LOL

If I made you laugh, then I've done my job with this card!

Take My Advice DOLL....

....pick an age and stick to it !

This is Bugaboo's JJ wine 2.  I was inspired by Billie and sorta cased her. The sentiment derived from Art Impressions.  One more card I'm adding to the Christmas Card sets! Nothing special about the template so I added dimension and an svg wine glass (free from internet) with an acetate base.

Going to make these again but change the sentiment

Wine...

...time to get a little snarky I guess.

This is an oldie from Bugaboo Stamps called JJ Wine.  I pulled out card scraps and a new Lacy Rectangle Die set from Gina Marie.  The cork and corkscrew "I think" came from the Silhouette Store.  I did a little distressing on the cork and screw for depth.

A2, copics for coloring.  I'm not good at coloring glass.

Good Grief...it took an hour to get back into my dashboard to post...something went crazy.  Whew!

I'm joining the Catch the Bug "Stella Says Sketch Challenge #412".  It's been waaaaay too long.  I fell in love with Bugaboo Stamps years ago and was lucky enough to join the design team.  It was my very first design team adventure.  Wonderful group of ladies...we even have a few gentlemen at one time.

I'm using JJ - Coffee To Go. I chose orange and purple (Clemson University) colors.  Football is right around the corner.  I have a good friend who is a "die-hard" fan.  This will be a perfect card for her.
