Merry Monday #41-A Trio of Possibilities!

Looking for last week's winners, please CLICK HERE.

Welcome to another week at Merry Monday! The idea behind this challenge is to get a head start on your Christmas cards! Each week, I choose one Merry Monday Winner who will then be a Guest Designer for a future challenge! So get out your Christmas supplies and let's get to work! This week I combined my sketch with the pretty colours at the Play Date Cafe. I thought the jewel-toned colours would make some elegantly wrapped gifts! I also used the square punches to show that the circle elements could be ANY shape.

Stamps: Sentiment (Flourishes), Jolly Bingo Bits (SU!)

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence and Concord Crush

Paper: SU! Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and retired Cottage Wall DSP

Cardabilities #57- {Season's Greetings}

This week at Cardabilities, Karan has created a fascinating sketch, one that I love! I was going to add some apples and do a teacher thank you but in the end, snowflakes won out as I wanted to use some of the new In Colours "Gumball Green" and "Raspberry Ripple". My card is very simple...I used the cute snowflake from the "Jolly Bingo Bits" stamp set. I think you could use any of those teeny stamps for this sketch! 

I hope you get the chance to join us at Cardabilities this week!

The Paper Players Theme Challenge: "Music"

It is Sunday and that means a new "Paper Players" Challenge! The lovely LeAnne is our hostess with the mostess and I am SO excited about her theme this week...MUSIC!  I love music, started as a music teacher and had a wonderful stint as a professional singer on stage. 

My card features a brand new set to me, "Jolly Bingo Bits"! I inked up the cardinal in this set. I also used the Music Wheel to make some music notes that I punched out with the new 1" Square Punch and then matted with the Scallop Square Punch. I love my punches!

The ribbon comes from a Christmas gift I received last year, I kept the ribbon for cards this year!  I just LOVE to recycle. I used some of the new Mini Bells for this card too...to go with the music theme.  The background of the card is created with the new snowflake embossing folder and the sentiment comes from "Four the Holidays".  I wish you could see the card in person, because I used the new "Dazzling Details" glitter glue for all of the snowflakes in the embossed background, it REALLY shimmers!  Right before I took the picture, I smudged my thumb in some Espresso Ink and got it on my card!  Argh!  Hopefully you won't notice it.

I hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!  Cindy Hall is joining us as our October Guest Designer!  Welcome Cindy!
