Oddball Art Christmas Reminder: ELF

Good morning!  We are expecting a snowstorm today, but no one seems to know when it's going to start or how much we're going to get or how long it's going to last.... LOL!  Welcome to New England!  So I came to work and instructed my hubby to text me when the snow starts at our house (we're expecting the snow to start earlier at our house and to get more) so I can head home.  The worst part is that it's all going to turn to rain and be muddy and ugly and gross.  We need a stretch of nice, cold weather and some snow!  I mean, come on - this IS New England!

Today we have a reminder post for you for our current challenge at:



I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:


I used image #177:  Cute Big Eye Punk Elf Tinker - don't forget to use code DTJENNB10 for 10% off your order in the Etsy shop.  Papers are from Doodlebug Designs - the little alpha cards are from Tim Holtz and the lollipop brad is from my stash.  Peace.
