Merry Monday #38 {Winter Wishes}


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!  I inked up a new stamp I bought from Close to My Heart. I inked it up in Black Memento Ink and then coloured it with my Copics. I love Cardinals.

The design team had created such amazing samples this week to get you into the Christmas Spirit! We hope that you will join us! Welcome to Anne Hayward as our Guest Designer this week!

Challenge Rules (to keep things fair):

1. You must use the sketch and make a Christmas card.

2. Please add a direct link to your blog or to an online gallery.

3. Feel free to use other challenges or for a stamp release, it doesn't matter, as long as you add this challenge link to your post.

4. Any offensive posts or cards that do not follow the guidelines will be removed out of courtesy to fellow bloggers and myself.

5. As always, please have fun and make the sketch your own!

This linky will close at Noon on the Sunday before the next Merry Monday Challenge.

    Very pretty, Lesley! I love cardinals as well--especially against white snow! I love how you presented the DT's cards, too!

    Hi Lesley, Love the red Cardinal, we don't have a bird that bright in Australia, not where I live anyway. I like the embossing folder you used also.

    Lesley, your card is gorgeous!! I really like this week's sketch design. I hope my card is okay. I have all the elements, just not exactly where you have them. If it's too off, just delete it, ok? I had fun making it!
