Christmas sketch adventure

I have been struggling to keep up with doing Christmas cards ahead this year, I was starting to worry that I'd be spending the first week of December stamping out mass-produced (but still handmade) duplicates.  I finally ordered some new toys supplies to see if that would inspire me, and it did!  Combined with Stef's fabulous Jingle Belles sketch, this card nearly made itself:
stamp sets - More Merry Messages, Scentsational Season; ink - Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake; card stock - Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade; designer series paper - Festival of Prints; Big Shot with Holiday Collection framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals
Isn't that little gingerbread boy just the cutest little thing?  I really wanted to make him smell as good as he looks, but I ordered Peppermint Sticks Stampin' Emboss® powder instead of Sugar & Spice - what was I thinking?  Maybe I should emboss the envelope, wouldn't that be fun?

OK, now that I'm inspired, I should get back to stampin'!  Oh, but maybe I could find something to eat first, since it's after noon and I forgot to eat breakfast...

mmm, that gingerbread boy looks good enough to eat! I smelled the sugar & spice embossing powder at convention - it would be yummy on the gingerbread. Love your card - I'm inspired to get my new goodies and start stamping!
