I couldn't let the year go by without inking up sweet little Birch by Purple Onion. He's just too cute sporting his stocking cap and mittens! Then I remembered the Time Out Challenges were looking for festive attire. I think Birch looks festive!

He's dressed pastel this year in a light sage green and coral combo. I popped him onto my favorite PPP tag then onto a holly embossed background. A few Simply Graphic holly sprigs were cut from plaid paper and tucked in. I picked up a few tiny Christmas sentiments by Morning Star Stamps at a local stamp convention years ago. They come in so handy! Sparkly stars pick up the gold in the holy leaves and add just the right amount of glitz!

We're headed out for a walk after lunch today. The high is only 42, but sunny. We've been averaging 2 1/2 to 3 miles a day. It won't last much longer with colder weather ahead, but we sure are enjoying it!
