How Do You Get to ‘Donner’s House’??? (think “reindeer”)
Are you thinking? *grin*
That’s a good thing!
But first, I want to invite you to the latest sketch challenge from Our Craft Lounge, OCLDT31 ! And if you choose to play along, you can even WIN A PRIZE – any one Our Craft Lounge stamp set of your choice. Cool, huh ? One winner will be selected for each month. On the first of each month, we will select a winner for the previous month. This means that you could have four or five weeks to be able to participate. And … you can participate as many times as you would like! A random winner will be selected and posted on the OCL blog on the first of each month. The more you play, the better your chances! Very cool, IMO. 😉
I felt this fun sketch was just the ticket for the cute “Reindeer Games” and “Reindeer Pun” sets from OCL.

The “punny” sentiments are lots of fun for readers/recipients of all ages. 
Plus, you get the perfect greeting for the inside of your cards as well! All you need to do is sign your family’s names, and taahhh-daahhhhh! You’re ready to address the envies! Tex’s Tip: Uhhhhhmmm, if you’re a fan of saving more time during the pre-holidays, print those addy’s onto address labels! Print, lift, & stick! 😉

The pearl embellishments were actually ‘white’, until I customized their color with Copic Marker R39 to coordinate. “Snow” was added with a glue pen and OCL’s Sparkly Fluff. I’ve also used Sparkly Fluff on the reindeer antlers and nose. Depending on which part of the country you live in, you might want to “pile” up that “snow” a little more. For me, here in TX …. we don’t tend to do so well in heavy snow … so just a little bitty touch is fine. LOL
Thanks so much for your visit and your chats! You have my sincere wishes for a fab weekend! I’ll celebrate some special birthdays, ranging from 3 years on up. Mmmmmmmmmmmm! CAKE! Yum!
