12 Days of Christmas Day 1: Pink Christmas

Welcome to day 1 of Smeared & Smudged 12 Days of Christmas sponsored by Smeared Ink. Check out the blog roll of participating artists in the right sidebar. We'll be posting every other day until the "Big" day. But it won't all be Christmas- Winter and other winter holidays will be celebrated too. Be sure to visit Saturday 12/3 my fellow Smeared Ink design team members and I will be showing you the new release images. Definitely something for all tastes in the new release.

The card today features "I Heart Christmas Trees" by artist Jane Beljo for Squigglefly. The background features hand carved images from gg Designs rubber stamps. Charlotte the owner created a plate of blossoms and named it after me. The burst is one of my all time favorite stamps because it makes such great backgrounds.

I'll now hand it over to my co-host, Randy the Reindeer, who lives with me and my family while he attends college. Randy wrote about his adventures during 31 Days of Halloween too.


Randy here- Good to be back and I am proud to be HOSTING (none of this CO hosting stuff) 12 Days of Christmas. I've been busy studying for exams (and cute co-eds) but when Heather Baby told me about this 12 Days of Christmas I knew I had to contribute- after all I am a REINDEER- this is my holiday- right?

You're probably wondering about the photo? Milly will be helping out this month when I have exams. (What this really means is that Heather told me that if I pull any "nonsense" that I am out and Milly is in as the co-host.)

Seriously, I know you are here to see me and without me Heather might as well shut down her blog. I'm not scared of her. She should be shaking in her boots that I'll quit and go co-host on someone else's blog. Lastly, Milly is a DORK, so trust me I am NOT at all worried.
