December Pin-Sights Challenge

Ellen kindly extended the December 2016 Pin-sights challenge ... oh! does she know us, or what?  I am as grateful for that as anyone ... especially because it gave me one more chance to use the 12 Days set in a fun little way. 

You've seen the Challenge mood board, right?  Here's another chance:

You won't have to go far to see where I found my inspiration ...  keep my silly sense of humor in mind, however.

Essentials by Ellen: 12 Days by Julie - Advent by Julie  
simple heat embossed, add a dab of Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry gold paint: voila!

Happy, indeed!  I must use that chicken again, very soon!

    What an adorable version of a New Year's countdown! Those images are such fun and you added a bit of festive fringe too. Hope your New Year's Eve date was the best!!

    Happy New Year my friend! I am loving that mood board, and YOUR card!!! How fun are those chickens?!! And birds. lol Cute, cute, cute! Hope your new year is off to a good start. I am sitting here with no heat. Not sure if the furnace bit the dust (its over 60 years old!) or if something else is wrong. Son coming over in a bit to look at it, although I think it is time for a new furnace, I'm not looking forward to the bill! Would love it if it held on until Spring so I can have time to shop for the right furnace. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Hugs, Brenda

    I think you and I have the same sense of humour, Michele, but you are much more creative in expressing it than me! This card makes me giggle so much, such fun!

    A trio of beret-sporting chickens, two doves and a pear-toting partridge, all assembled to ring in the New Year...nothing short of ingenious! Too much fun! Oh...and I see fringe, as well! Another delight!
