Merry Monday Merry Little Christmas

We have some exciting changes at Merry Monday!  First, my card for this week's challenge.

No more sketches.  At least not every week.  We never know what Lesley might throw in there.

Here's the scoop.

Welcome to the new and improved "Merry Monday Christmas Card Club"! We have decided to make this challenge into a club...here is how it will work.
  1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
  2. Each participant must comment on 3 cards in the Gallery to be eligible to win. (Who doesn't love comments!)
  3. Neutral colours and any product is welcome.
  4. Have fun!
  5. Follow the weekly challenge closely to complete a Christmas card.

Sadly, we're saying goodbye to Narelle and Sherry on the design team.  It's been such a pleasure working with them.  My good friend and constant source of inspiration, Loll Thompson, is joining us.  Woot!

    Wow Bonnie, I love this to pieces! Such a lovely combination of colours and, as always, a perfect card. I need to try and play along with Merry Monday - sketches scare me a bit so the change could be the nudge I need :)

    Hugs, Di xx

    Love that soft kraft and it really makes your traditional Christmas colors on the bold stamp just pop off the card. Great bow with that twine also...neat twist on the tie! Congratulations to you as well. TFS
