Hi everyone! Thanks for coming back. Today starts my Christmas vacation and guess what happened last night. The unspeakable... it's a catastrophe... I almost cried.... MY PRINTER DIED!! OK, in perspective to having happy, healthy kids - a job, a roof over my head... it's not that bad. But ugh! So what do I do? I go looking for another, inexpensive printer. Found one, loved the reviews and specs so I ordered it. For $39 - it's a steal.... and not in stock. Double ugh! So then I found another and this one is less money - $29. The ink cartridges cost more! So, hopefully, I'll be able to pick up a new printer later today.
Good thing I had this digi printed already to get my card created to share with you. This two week challenge for MTME Pretty Patterns, we're still reviewing Tangii's great sketches. I picked this one to work with...
And here's what I did with it. *gasp!* Not a Christmas card!
I am featuring my all time favorite set. This is Bee Loved and Bee Loved Sentiments. I also tried the ribbon/button treatment that was recently featured on Stamp TV. I'm pretty sure I've attempted this before but Gina K made it so much easier.
Please come join us at My Time Made Easy.

3 Encouraging Thoughts:
Nooooooo....that was that sad noise I heard last night, then, your wail of dismay as the printer bit it. I don't think I could name anyone who uses digis as often as you do - you need that new one STAT! Ink is more costly per mL than anything else - including gas, alcohol, you name it. Funny, printer ink is the only one that's THAT expensive...
I feel your pain! Literally... our printer is in the shop and we probably won't get it until after the new year!
I love your card!! So pretty and spring-y!!
Hi Melissa, This is lovely, I love the sketch and your designer papers. joann sassy raggedy
