Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

My it feels like the week has flown by since Monday...

And I am really thankful for the scheduler function in Typepad as I am typing this very late in the evening/early morning... it has been that busy this week.

I attempted to start my Christmas shopping this week... for gifts for others... and ended up just buying stuff for me... deary me. But I have made quite a few lovely purchases, made a couple of nice new crafty items that weren't paper-related and had my fill of festive Starbucks in ONE day... and tonight I am off up to my friend's after work armed with 6 bottles of vodka for a vodka tasting evening (they are all different flavours - only the best don't you know - and one is the famous lemon vodka my Uncle in Chicago makes) and a nice meal, so should be a very good night. Then the weekend to recover and recharge and who knows, get some real progress in my Christmas card making!

But anyway, on with today's crafty creation. This week's challenge on the DCM blog is based on the theme of water.

Paper: MME
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse Stamps, Banana Frog, PTI
Dies: Spellbinders, PTI
Other: 3D foam, Copics

Cute little whale, bless! Of all the dies in my arsenal, of which there are a few..., I get the most use out of these scallop edger dies from PTI. This is the medium one in action. Now I just wonder if the MFT scallop edges are similar or just different enough to require a purchase! I am also after a pinking edge die like the new one from PTI... wonder if there are any other manufacturers out there who have one. I cannot cut a straight line with a pair of regular scissors never mind ones with a zig zag edge!

Also while I was at it, I used up the scraps from this card to make a matching gift tag, with a nice bit of felt too...

I have a feeling I also need to start on my Christmas gift tags too!

Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. ;o)
