This was such a fun card to make! I used the sketch and photo for my inspiration and used words and images from about a dozen of my holiday sets. I smooshed things a bit to look like a chalkboard and added a pop of color. Done! And unfortunately.....so is Fusion.....
Lesley Croghan started Fusion several years ago and I thought then what a great idea for a challenge - so many ways to be inspired. When she handed the reins over to the very talented Karren Johnson I was honored to be asked to join the DT. It has been a wonderful experience. Karren's sketches and photo choices provided so much inspiration!
But things seem to be shifting out here in the netherworld as I call it. Challenge blogs aren't as popular as they once were. So we are closing the doors here at Fusion but individually we will still be creating and posting on our personal blogs. Many thanks to all of you who have participated or commented or just browsed the gallery over the years. Hope you join us one last time. Wishing you all the best as we enter this holiday season......
Have fun with Fusion this week - I did!

Who says Fresh Freesia is only for Easter cards? I love an unexpected color for the holidays! A few well placed die cuts made this card come together in no time.....because my time will be taken up by some pie making today. I always volunteer to make the pies - way more fun than roasting the turkey!
A sweet cup of hot chocolate definitely takes the chill off of a wintry day! As I type this Buffalo, NY (about four hours west of me) expects three to five FEET of snow today and tomorrow. Now that's a snowstorm! The storm will drift northeast so we will only get a few squalls now and then. But a hot cup of cocoa or coffee or tea will get you through the storm......along with boots, snow tires, shovels, parka, scarf, mittens, fireplace.....you get the drift.....
Squeezing this card in just before the end of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop for Fall/Winter !
