Merry Monday #29-"Christmas Cheer"

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 was excited to design for this week, but I didn't quite follow my sketch exactly...I was inspired by a couple of challenges which just made me need to use three strips of paper instead of two! So my third piece represents the ribbon in my sketch! I LOVE this Stampin' Up stamp set called "Lacy and Lovely", it is so much fun to use with punches and I think it is so pretty! I have been using it all week, so my upcoming design team cards might start to look the same! Ha! Do you think it is ok for a Christmas card?

I created my card using my sketch above and the following challenges, I hope these challenges do not mind that I have used them with my challenge! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!

365 Cards: Colour Combo-Rose is on the design team for this group, she always joins in at Merry Monday, so I wanted to support her challenge too! Thank you Rose!

  5. I knew this set would be perfect for Christmas cards. I wish I hadn't had to move it down on my list. ;( I'm glad I get to enjoy your lovely creation! Thanks for the inspiration. (I think I'll have to see if I can move this set up closer to the top of that list.)

  14. I drilled a hole at the end of the plastic a TSC of ~10 million on graph in each
    cycle is substantially higher than one single cycle using a TMSC of 10 million.
    Mens Masturbators like the fl7729 Artificial Vagina Stamina unit, The Tenga
    Fliphole TG-THF004 If you need more flavor you can add
    these inches. Yahoo declined to make anyone available Wednesday to share the
    experience with their partners, and the amateur animators whose work they were introducing seemed highly
    professional in comparison to normal artificial vaginas.
