Merry Monday #84 {Trees with Bling!}



Welcome to another week of Merry Monday. Today is the 18th which means 12 more days of November and then 24 days in December...which equals 36 days until Christmas! WOW! It is coming fast this year. Today we have a theme challenge

USE A TREE ON YOUR CARD WITH SOME BLING!!!


1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
2. The challenge will be either a theme, an inspiration photo, a sketch or a colour combo.
3. Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery.
4. Have fun!
5. Follow the weekly challenge closely.

No...I didn't use any bling (hanging head in shame) I totally FORGOT!! SO if you forget the bling...no worries...I've got your back! Anyway, I created some tags this week to go with my card as I have been invited to share some tags over at Tracey McNeely's blog, In My Creative Opinion. She is hosting a special TAG series on her blog, go check it out! Lots of inspiration and tag making ideas!





{Supplies Used}
Stamps: Paper Smooches, Fresh Squeezed Stamps
Inks: Soft Suede
Papers: SU! DSP, Kraft, Vanilla
Extras: Sizzix Tree Die, Vanilla Ribbon, Red Striped Ribbon
