Oh, it's still my favorite night of the week! Friday and the IC. My hands are finally inky after more than 3 months of pausing...how I have missed my SCS friends, encouragers, and all the creative energy that flows through each one of you. Here's hoping that my interpretation of the IC will interest you and perhaps, cause you to pause...
Thanks Anne, for the delightful web site FabulousStationary I just knew when I saw the chair, I could ease into creating again. My mod chair is courtesy of Judikins. I stamped it and Mod Guy multiple time to paper piece, using various Basic Grey colors. The wonderful mantel behind Mod Guy is an image from Stamp Francisco...inked with Palette Hybrid Charcoal Grey on SU Basic Grey paper. The Christmas tree is B Line Designs...inked twice with Nick Bantock's Sap Moss Green and Chartreuse Leaf on unknown green paper. I dug out my hoarded Basic Grey Figgy pudding to cut the packages for under the tree. And the most wonderful, thought provoking quip comes from Stampers Anonymous. I divided it up from front page news, to the meat down the side. The black moulding is a snip of vintage German scrap.
So I would love to hear how you've been pausing during this very hectic season, how you've nurtured your SWEET 'selfs! Thanks so much for all your wonderful cards and prayers, they were treasures I received on days and weeks when I needed them.
See you in the gallery.
Editing to add, guess I've forgotten the code for the color links...help Anne H...please refresh my memory in a PM. Thanks so much
editing to add AGAin....if you look in the hot and new on the site, you'll see the one for my inspiration.

susan, how wonderful to see you back where you belong. I, among so many, have truly missed your presence and your wonderful creations! And what a great card to rejoin us with. This is extraordinary with that chair/guy. Love the tree, too. So glad to see you back in the gallery.

Lovin' the 'modern' style you've given to this creation! Reminds me a wee bit of my Dad & his ever-present newspaper, and maybe even a bit of Beaver Cleaver's dad as well!

SUSAN!! It's SUSAN! My, oh my, how I have missed your amazing, quirky creations!!
What a blessing to us all that you were feeling creative today!! This card is just what I needed as I rush into this final hectic week before Christmas.
I plan to pause today and catch up on my Advent devotionals and give some thought to the true meaning of Christmas due to your fabulous inspiration piece!!
God bless you, Susan. You have been in my prayers!

Welcome Back!! Your card is fabulous with all its details. Especially the message! I will be traveling to Tennessee today in the car so I will have plenty of time to "pause" and get my thoughts in order and be thankful for all the many blessings that surround me.
