Good morning everyone...it's been a few days since I was in the craft room but I just couldn't resist Betty's challenge....ya did good, girly!! I also didn't want to miss the Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday Challenge Christmas tea party Peggy was hosting!! Seems we were meeting rodents for a fun time and when my little space men showed up this morning I thought they would like to come, too!! Actually, to tell the truth, I had one more Christmas card to make for one of my DGS and this fit the bill perfectly!!!
The Clear Dollar Stamps Alien Fred image was stamped on Sahara Sand cardstock and colored with a hint of color with a red copic. The little half aliens came from the the Clear Dollar Stamps Lost in Space set and the sentiment from their Just Chillin set. The balls were punched out of a scrap piece of SEI chocolate Mint dp. Silver cording and googlie eyes finish it off. TFL and I hope you have a wonderful Holiday!!!!

Awww, Joan thanks for coming! I love your little alien guys. What beautiful eyes they have, my favourite kind, the googly ones! Wow, I just know your grandson will love this. I love it.
Now, your little friends will need a crash course on the etiquette and I am a bit tipsy on the spider eggnog, maybe you would like to take them down in the quite little lounge Sabrina is resting and sewing with her friends, and she will be a darling and explain that this party is not normal human behaviour. LOL
Happy holiday, fun colours on the cc, that Betty sure rocks! TFS

Hey, maybe if they make friends with the aliens, they will give the Rodents the heads up when they see Santa flying in on Christmas Eve! Wonderful card!

Yep -I'll definitely explain that spiders eggs are NOT how most people make eggnog. And what were the other equally dubious ingredients Peggy mentioned? On the other hand, it might be just perfect for aliens - their idea of a heavenly elixir. Psst - can you ask them to try and take all the mice away in their UFO when they leave - a modern Pied Piper type thing.

Joan this is too fun! Simply adorable and those eyes are too much. Perfect card for both challenges! Watch out for Bertie! I hear on good authority she will be showing up. TFS!
