Day 11 of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog.  We are on the Christmas countdown here at my house.  My daughter has finished her Christmas shopping and has all her presents wrapped and under the tree.  I am not finished shopping, nor do I have anything wrapped yet.  I do have all my cards made and ready to be dropped in the mail..yeah, they are going to be late :) and I have finished all my hand made Christmas presents.  I will be posting pictures after Christmas because my mom and my mil both read my blog and I don't want the surprise to be revealed.

 For today's card, I have used an Ike's Image.  I just Suzy's images.  She's so creative.
I was feeling not so Christmasy when I made this card.  I have been feeling this way for the past few weeks.  And now, I have been diagnosed with Shingles.  I am in lots of pain but I am pushing through.

 I used some papers from the Harper's Bazaar paper pad from The Paper Studio to make this card.  I used my Crayola's to color in this chick.  The sentiment is mine and the card stock is Recollections and GP.

 Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day.  Make sure to stop in on Monday for the final card in the Smeared and Smudged 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.  I have received my first set of rubber stamps from the club and I am going to use it to be able to participate in Smeared Ink Day.  Stay tuned.

    Oh Em, you poor thing! Shingles is the WORST! No wonder you're not feeling very Christmassy. Hope you feel better soon! Fab card, though. Beautiful coloring and I love that image. Great sentiment, too. Take care! xxD
