Tangled Up Tuesday (aka Day Two of GIU)

Hello again! Today is Tuesday and my Day Two as Unity Stamp Company's Growing in Unity Gal :-) Yay Me! lol  Today is going to have me all Tangled Up because it is our Annual Marching Band Contest here in my little town (pop. 2640).  We will play host to small towns from all over Arkansas and one or two from Oklahoma and Missouri as well, the largest band coming has 180 members and this is their first year to join us... Welcome Harrison!  As a Band Mom, I'm always helping out trying to raise money for not only our uniforms but trips for our kids to take elsewhere to compete or just have fun together (last year was Dallas to compete and have fun while down there, we did fantastic and we were the smallest school to go).  Today I will be working in the concession stand, slinging everything from Hamburgers to Frito Chili Pies from bottled water to Coke (big supporter there! we love Coke) and CANDY... do not forget the CANDY! Anywhooooo, back to my card... this little guy & friend got all Tangled Up in my most dreaded time of the year this year.


Unity Stamp Co's adorable Christmas stamp set is called Twinkling Joy

Stamped with Memento in Tuxedo Black

I chose to color only the lights with Copic Markers then go over them with Viva in Translucent.

Printed Background paper is from MyMind'sEye 12 Days of Christmas

Misc Solid Cardstocks

Don't forget to leave a comment on all my GIU posts for a chance to win TWO itty bitties from Unity!
