It's the first Merry Monday of 2013. I'm so honored that Lesley asked me to continue on the Design Team for another year. I love the other Merry Makers and it's such an honor to be among them. Now on to my card.
This year Lesley is going to do something a bit different. Each week of the month will be a different challenge.
This week is a color challenge
Next week will be a sketch challenge.
I played along with Merry Monday last year only missing week 1. I was so glad I did. Not only did I make some amazing new friends, but my Christmas cards were finished and in the mail early in December. The year before I was madly trying to finish making cards and some didn't get delivered until after Christmas. Think about joining us this year.
Don't forget to check out the other Merry Makers designs.

Card Recipe
Stamps: Frosty Friends (retired)
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Pool Party, SU Markers (Island Indigo, Real Red)
Paper: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Other: Big Shot, Square Lattice EF, Apothecary Accents Framelits, 1/8" Circle Punch,
Real Red Ribbon, Dazzling Details
Tip: To do the noses I swiped the Real Red marker on a piece of plastic and picked up a little color with the Blender Pen.
I see that one of my snowmen has a runny nose. We've had a cold going around here for over 2 weeks. Guess he caught it. I'll get a tissue.
Thanks for stopping by. Stay well.
Enjoy!
Oh, you know I love this snowman card, Bonnie. Just melts my little heart. It's adorable.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting to stay with the Merry Makers. You're a wonderful asset. Plus, you'll be getting those beautiful cards made for next Christmas.
How adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Bonnie! Those colors are wonderful for a Christmas/winter card. That's great to have a leg up on Christmas 2013 cars. Happy new year, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card, Bonnie! I didn't even notice the nose until you mentioned it. We had the cold/sinus thing going around my family too for the past week or so. Not fun! Anyways, I love your snowmen on the diecut piece! I said to Vicki that I always forget I have this die! Hopefully you ladies will motivate me to use it!!! :) Love the Square Lattice texture on your Pool Party cardstock and the Real Red Ribbon on the ends! Awesome card and a super way to start off the New Year! :)

Great card, Bonnie. I'm going to try to play along with Merry Monday this year - probably not all of them, but definitely some. I already try to do some of the SCS challenges every week - can't seem to always get them done though!!
