Joyful Christmas Wishes for Merry Monday

Christmas is almost here.

Are your Christmas cards already in the mail?

Mine aren't.

I think it takes longer to sign and address them than it does to make them.

Thanks to Merry Monday

I have plenty of Christmas cards to pick from.

Debbie chose a very elegant challenge for us this week.

I first made this card for this challenge.

I congratulated myself on a job well done.

(Love all the sparkle on that card.)

Then I noticed that I needed to add a 4th color.

I tried, but couldn't find anything that worked on that card.

So I grabbed a piece left over from my last class

and silver embossed this gorgeous poinsettia.

Since poinsettias are traditionally red, not silver, I used a red mat for my 4th color.

Gold flat back beads fill in the center.

I can't wait to see what elegance you put on your

Merry Monday cards this week.

I've seen the Design Team samples.

Be prepared to be wowed with their inspiration!

Addicted to Stamps

is having a CAS week.

This is my second entry for this challenge.

The lovely and talented, Kylie is holding a

Christmas Card Challenge

with a prize of a watermark and signature made especially for the winner.

This is such a generous prize.

I love my watermark!

The Paper Players

Is this fancy enough?

Where all you need is to use a snippet on your project.

My white design piece was a snippet.
