DP: A Very Marshmallow Christmas

To quote Snoopy, "It was a dark and dreary [day]" so I decided to make some inner happiness around here by getting my crafty on.

I've had this image sitting on my desk for a long time so I decided to dust it off a bit and get to work with the copics.  It's the Doodle Pantry image "Cocoa Cup Ants." I'm not much of a hot chocolate drinker (coffee is what can normally be found in my cup) but I liked it because it reminds me of my youngest child.  He feels that there should be a 70/30 ratio when making cocoa.  70% marshmallows (especially the multi-colored ones) and a very small 30% of the drink ... just enough to melt the sugary goodness of the marshmallows!

 I'm using the colors suggested by the Color Throwdown .  My pink isn't exactly fuchsia but ... it IS pink.  I also used the sketch from Sketch Saturday.  I loved it's angularity.

I am not going to lie ...

I was not a fan of this slouchy girl when I first saw her.  I'm not sure if it was the crooked Big Ben or her poor posture that was causing me to twitch buuut, I have to say that I love how this card turned out.  I don't know if it's the colors or the lay-out but London Charlotte has schlumped her way into my heart.

I'm joining in the following challenges:
Color Throwdown: loved these colors together!
Digi Sketch Challenge: sketch

From The Heart 99

I don't know what it is about cold weather that sucks the life out of me but I've noticed the colder it is, the less I get done!  Good for all the cards I'm making lately, but not so good for the house, laundry and other chores that I need to get done.

Tomorrow it's supposed to get all the way up to 40.  Maybe I'll get something productive done ... maybe.

I wanted to participate in the sketch challenge over at From the Heart as well as the Color Throw-down.  I tried to work in the navy but hated the look of it, but at least I have three of the four colors incorporated.
