Another Monday is here and a brand new month of sketches here at Merry Monday! A special thank you to my friend Colleen Dietrich for being such a lovely Featured Designer for May! Thank you Colleen, your cards were spectacular and I loved getting to know you!!!
June is here and summer is around the corner, I know how challenging it is to think "Christmas" but I am so proud of all my blogging friends, old and new, who have gotten a head start on their Christmas creations! If you completed all the sketches for May, please grab the badge below for your blog! Congrats! I have also put the other past monthly badges there, in case you missed some!
I am also thrilled to introduce my Featured Designer for June, Vicki Burdick! I have always admired Vicki's work and her wonderful style with card making! She creates the most inspiring cards and I was so pleased when she agreed to join me for June! Welcome to the team Vicki! I also asked her to share a bit about herself!
Hi all! My name is Vicki Burdick and I am so thrilled that Lesley invited me to be a Merry Monday maker for the month of June, I am so looking forward to creating along side all the girls here. I have been "stamping" since 2005 when I went to my first Stampin' Up party with a friend. I was hooked right away although I do love all types of crafting! I live in a small town in southwest Missouri, I have been married to my wonderful hubby for almost 36 years and we have one daughter and alot of cats!! I am looking forward to getting a jump start on my Christmas cards!!
My card this week was really simple to put together. Using my 5-Petal Punch (which is now retired) I created a poinsettia out of Real Red Glimmer paper. I decided to keep my card nice and clean, so that the poinsettia and the sentiment could take centre stage! I also went clean and simple with my card, because of the wonderful challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays to use bling on your CAS project!
Beautiful card, Lesley! I love this weeks sketch and your pretty card! The poinsettia just grabs all the attention here and I love that you used the glitter paper to make it! WOW, so awesome! :)
ReplyDeletethanks so much for having me Lesley! Gorgeous cards by all the DT!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty of a poinsettia, Lesley! And the clean background does make it stand out. I'll miss that punch.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'm going to try it this week Lesley! Not sure how I feel about Christmas in June yet though!!!
ReplyDeleteThe fonts you used on your card really take this one over the top for me! It's beautiful Lesley!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration all, but especially Vicki for making me get out this beautiful stamp set.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lesley for another great sketch!!! And thanks to everyone on the design team for the great inspiration!! I do like getting a head start on my Christmas cards. So glad I found this site!!
ReplyDeleteLesley - what a lovely card! You made me remember that I have that embossing folder and have never used it! I gotta get on that! I love your glittery poinsettia and the scripty sentiment. Thank you so much for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous CAS card Lesley! I love your glittery poinsettia ! Great sketch, even though it threw me at the start!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of cards! The glittered poinsettia on yours is gorgeous and is just the inspiration I needed for a project I'm working on. *wink* Thanks for joining us this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
