Happy Holidays and December Challenge

Hello friends and Happy Holidays,

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.  I still can't believe that we are in December already.  I live near New Orleans, Louisiana, so even it's Winter, we still have 70s degree weather.  Warm weather makes you forget that Christmas is approaching.  Call me crazy, but I do miss the snowy day during Christmas in Denver.

Anyhow, today, I'm so honor to have Vicky Papaioannou as a guest designer this month.  Vicky is the reason I came back to stamping in 2011 and have not stopped since.  She is such an amazing artist and inspiration!  Check out her beautiful card, made out of scrapped papers... AWESOME!!

    As a new twist on an old cocktail, skewer a piece of cooked shrimp and instead of serving it with a bowl of cocktail sauce serve the shrimp in a shot glass already filled with the sauce. Corporate party ideas will really help you in refreshing your presentation.
