Christmas Leftovers for the New Year

     I know most of us think about turkey, dressing, or pecan pie when we hear the word "leftovers" a day or two after Christmas, but sometimes the leftovers are hanging on the tree or can be found in the Ball jar which was filled with candy.

     This darling little fox image from the Progressive Challenge at LeAnn's World 101 made me think about leftover candy canes since the card didn't get made until halfway to the New Year.  Mind you, I can't guarantee that foxes love candy canes but I have one cat who loves popcorn and another who thinks cauliflower is a treat so who knows?

Colored with pencils and mounted on Pop Dots
Fussy cut with scissors
Paper is a Christmas wrap 'leftover'
Snowflake is a button with glitter added

Skinny Snowman - Too Much Workout?

     Most of us are worried about putting on a few pounds over Christmas but this "Skinny Snowman" from QKR Stampede, which I used on my DT card for the latest weekly challenge, seems to have been doing workouts on an overtime basis to stay this slim!

2 Layer CAS at Critter Chaos

     Well, my plan to do a second post yesterday got sidetracked when everyone awoke at the same time and it was like a hoard of locusts landing on the WiFi so guess who got booted?  lol

     It's the last challenge theme at Catch the Bug's Critter Chaos but you still have until the end of December to get cards entered.  The last theme is Keep It Simple with only 2 Layers plus Twine/ Ribbon.  In addition, you have to use the Friday Freebie image they have given to everyone.
