Hanging with Friends

Good morning all!  'Tis the weekend again, and time is passing so quickly.  I'm hoping to get a bit of shopping in today, with better luck than I had in the week, though I did finally get a new cell phone.  I really don't have any ideas for gifts this year, and seem to walk into a store and then walk out....without seeing anything that strikes my fancy.  Anybody else having this problem, or is it just me.  Well at least I'm getting there with my Christmas cards.

Here, I have used one of Sassy Cheryl's images (Hanging with Friends), and to speed things up a bit, this one was pre-coloured.  This is a first for me....I added some glossy accents to his nose and some stickles to the birds, and did a bit of fussy cutting around his boots.  A pretty backing made with a Spellbinders die, some gold peel-offs for a bit of added glam, and then a stamped sentiment to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck in your weekend endeavours....especially if you are out in the stores!
