Beauty of the Season for Merry Monday

It's Merry Monday time again.
We're chugging fast toward Christmas.
How are you doing on your Christmas card stash?

This week we're playing Christmas Bingo.
The lovely Kathy is our hostess and has fixed up a fantastic Bingo card to play with.



I went diagonally with Red, Ribbon or Twine and Embossing.



I colored this beautiful cardinal with the Cherry Cobbler set of Blendabilities.

Looks like I missed one leg.  I'll have to go back and fix that.

I love this new Filigree Frame Embossing Folder.

And cardinals and Christmas seem to go together.

Now it's your turn.

The Design Team has some wonderful inspiration to get you started.

Bingo is so much fun!

I'm glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!
