D is for Deer

Happy Monday! Here's to a new week. I got a bunch of stuff done this morning and so happy to be moving forward. I cleaned and rearranged the twins' bedroom and cleaned their bed clothes. Went through their toys and cleaned them up and got the ones they aren't playing with anymore ready to donate. Did some organizing for the ones that are left so they could help clean up. So I'm feeling pretty good about what I'd accomplished. Here's the card that I finished this morning.

I use this image every year at least for one of my Christmas cards. I think he's so cute. This is one of the deer from the Dasher and Dancer stamp set from Beccy's Place. I love his expression with that sentiment. Should I say "He looks like a deer in headlights?" He's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut. Then I ran my black marker around the edge to minimize the white edges. The background plaid (you might know that plaid is my favorite!) is die cut with MFT Stitched Squares and the sentiment is die cut (twice) with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags. I backed the plaid with some black card stock. The card base, of course, is red card stock. I am entering these challenges:

• Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards: Day 4 letter D for deer
• Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge: sketch 
  
• Incy Wincy challenge: animals
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas challenge: anything goes

I hope to get some more crafty time in today. I haven't done my birthday cards for the month yet so that should be my next project. I'll leave you with Arthur's "D' word. He says "D is for dwagonfwy" (dragonfly). Some adult along the way must have said "wow" to some of his big words because now he always adds that to the end. Wow! Have a blessed day!
