Merry Monday {Joy to the World}


Christmas is so close now. I spend the day wrapping gifts yesterday! We will be working on our tree all week too...a little at a time because my leg and back can only do so much in a day! Anyway, I am thrilled to be the Featured Designer for Merry Monday! I have missed designing for the challenge I created but I needed to step down because I just could not keep up with commenting and I think that is an important part of being on a challenge design team! But it is nice to be hanging out with them for a while.



{Supplies Used}
Stamps: Verve
Inks: Cajun Craze
Papers: Teresa Collins, White, Cajun Craze (Textured), Silver Doily, Simple Stories
Extras: Poinsettia Die (Spellbinders), Pearl, Silver Doily (SRM)


I used a silver doily and some gold designer paper in the background. My "fourth" colour is Cajun Craze...and some plaid paper! Once again I used a Verve Sentiment...I love the font and how it stamps! SO easy yet pretty! I am happy with how my card came out but you should visit the blog to see the rest of the team's creations! Wow! They amaze me!

  4. It's good to have you designing with us again, Lesley! You are missed! Love this silver doily and the gorgeous paper in the background! Love how you've highlighted the veins in the poinsettia leaves too! Take it easy on that back and leg. Hope they feel better soon.

  5. This is beautiful, Lesley! The subtle gold in the background looks so good with the silver doily and I would never have thought to use Cajun Craze as the fourth colour but it works so well!
