Oh, Shoot! ~ CCC #50; CHCC #150; JBs; NBUS #72; PS Sparks; SSS

Okay, honestly, don't hate me, I didn't plan to post another card today! 

It's not my fault.  It's the fault of the Paper Smooches Trend Watch challenge, which is "stripes," inspired by this stripey and gorge tote: 

You know I love stripes almost as much as I do polka dots, and plaid, and ...   So when I saw that the challenge was mere hours away from closing, I rushed out to the Playhouse and I made this:

Can you see that he has his carrot nose stuck to the freezing pole like poor Flick in A Christmas Story?  That's why he is saying, "Oh, Shoot!"  He needs your help, so on the inside it says this:

The Santa dude does not come stuck to the pole in this NBUS set.  The pole is a separate stamp from the Santa, but I snuggled it up against the Santa dude to create my scene and I made his nose a bit longer to stick it to the pole.

 

There's lots of sparkle on the pole and the scarf, but you'll have to take my word for it.

Thanks to my friend Alanna, I'm excited to enter my card in a brand-new-to-me challenge called Christmas Card Challenges.  The theme this week is a sketch challenge, but any holiday card can be entered!
 

I'm also entering the always-popular Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge where the theme is "Outdoors."

 

And, wait, even more excited is another brand-new-to-me challenge called Jingle Belles!  The theme this time is "Holiday Traditions."  The connection to my card is that A Christmas Story is the Mister's favorite Christmas movie and we have it on a DVD.  It is a tradition in our house to play it a couple thirty hundred times between the turkey's departure and Santa's arrival!!

 

And, lastly, I'm entering the ongoing Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge, where the theme is "Keep it Clean and Simple."

 

I hope you can join in these fun challenges!  The links will provide you with all the fine print and the prize and sponsor details.

Okay, I'm off to continue hopping.  Sitting still and typing this gave my legs a bit of rest!  I know you are prolly sick of me, so I promise I won't post again for awhile! 

No one really knows how long "a while" is when you stop and think about it.   Di A. Bolical

Enjoy your day!  No, seriously, enjoy.  LITS* 

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower!  Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
