Good morning.
It's Merry Monday time.
Fun loving Kristie chose our challenge this week.
I'm not going to lie to you. This challenge scared me.
I thought and thought and couldn't think of anything neon that I could put my hands on.
Then I remembered the Japanese papers that a friend had given me.
But I should have found a neon green for the pine boughs.
I'm sure you'll do better and just wait to see what the other Merry Makers have done.
They'll blow your socks off!
Since my non-neon greenery was a snippet and the ornaments came out of the
tiniest snippets imaginable (I had to tuck and turn to get them to fit),
I'm going to skip on over to
Pixie's Snippet Playground.
Do go take a peek.
There are the most amazing cards over there and everyone plays so nicely.
Well, most of the time! Di and the gals are great fun!
Now, I hope you'll get your NEON out and join us at
Merry Monday.
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteLOVE your neon ornaments, Bonnie! Sorry this challenge scared you. haha You pulled through with your beautiful card. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletelove the design of your card - i'm going to be hard pressed to find neon anywhere is my stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI think is scares me too, but you showed you could still make it look somewhat traditional with the Christmas light , I love this card!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Bonnie! I spy that Kars embossing folder that is so awesome.:-) Love those beautiful ornaments and the pretty pine is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the texturized neon ornaments, great design too :)
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments in the neon colors are beautiful! Love the colors you used for them and that design. The greenery looks great just as it. Looks like they're hanging on a real Christmas tree!

I think the green you used for the bough is perfect, Bonnie. This card is beautifully elegant and bright - a great combination. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNeon for Christmas would frighten me too Bonnie! But you've certainly cracked it with your card - the baubles look really fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this Bonnie! what a fab design huggles Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI love that paper you used for the ornaments, Bonnie. The branches and background snow really set them off.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful ornament paper - gorgeous card Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteDeanne :)
You are not alone...this challenge stumped me! You did a great job with the ornaments, such pretty papers!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ornaments Bonnie, I love all the added embossed texture too, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the challenge, I immediately wondered how you'd handled it so I quickly scrolled down through the DT cards to find yours - brilliant idea for a challenge that I knew wouldn't be your cup of tea! Love the ornaments done in those textured papers.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the papers you've used for your neon ornaments Bonnie. Fabulous layout and design ... love the circle aperture with stitching and snowy embossed background. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteI am loving your neon ornaments Bonnie! I think your greenery is perfect the color it is, it might have been to much if the pines would have been neon too. Such cool paper you used and yes, I am so in low with those neon ornaments! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWell, this certainly turned out awesome! Who knew what you could do with neon?And for Christmas! Its stunning! I just love this.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I will have time to play along this week, but certainly sounds like an interesting challenge!
Awesome design and I have no neon supplies either! I think the Japanese papers you used for your ornaments are just as cool as can be, and I loved the way you have the aperture with the ornaments & the pine boughs. Great card, and I think you did a fantastic job, like it even better than if it _had been_ neon!! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou're too hard on yourself, you ALWAYS have the most beautiful cards and this is no exception :)
ReplyDeleteYour card turned out fantastic, I love your pretty ornaments.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Bonnie - those japanese papers are so unique and make gorgeous ornaments!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this card Bonnie! IMHO the boughs look best in the natural green you used - and those neon Japanese paper ornaments are gorgeous. It was a bit of a tough challenge this week I found! At one point I was going to rush out and buy a pad of neon multicoloured Post-it sticky notes to cut up :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
You have nailed this challenge with your lovely baubles. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI have NOTHING in neon . . . so I sympathise. . . . But you DID GOOD . . . another superb card. Congrats xx

ReplyDeleteI thought this was the weirdest challenge when I saw it come out. To me neon and Christmas don't even compute. You and those who played along really proved me wrong. This is a fabulous card! Love those bright bulbs!
