Okay, so the title of my post makes it look like I've combined the kits five times; however, I haven't really kept track. I just liked the sound of Combo #5 because it sounded like one of my favorite dance songs...Mambo #5! Mambo is quite a challenge for me and so was Jingle Belles - Shape Up for the Holidays. If it were strictly a body shaping up, I would be in serious trouble as I just added the "Lose It" app to my iPhone and I already know the Bear Claw I had this morning for breakfast was over 500 calories! But I digress...here's my card that is not square nor rectangular for the aforementioned challenge...
I used a card base from the Lots of Happy kit, the trees from the Timeless Tidings kit, the Timeless Tidings stamp set for the sentiment and enamel snowflakes from the Santa's Workshop package. I elevated the trees with dimensionals that are part of the Lots of Happy kit.
We are staying at an Inn that is 4 minutes from our daughter. We have a fridge, microwave, large open area but only one desk. I had to create my card, while standing, using a very small portion of the desk. That in itself was a challenge!
Back to the "Lose It" app...here are photos from the delish Chicken Piccatta dinner that Jacob and his father (sous chef) prepared for us last night. We had such a wonderful time and I'm delighted I didn't know about the Lose It app last night. I'm sure the calorie count for the day was in the 3,000 range!! It was all worth it.

Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share our wonderful evening with you. Tonight is hibachi and, hopefully, less calories. See you tomorrow.

Thanks much, Lauren, for leaving a comment. I wouldn't have thought of hexagonal if it hadn't been for the kit.
