More Holly for Merry Monday

We're having another week of holly at


This is a snippet from the January page of this year's calendar.

I die cut the image, pulled out a snippet of black to fit it on,
die cut another banner, embossed it, wrapped some twine
and stuck it down.

A quick greeting and it was done before the daughters and grandchildren got here.

for a quick swing.

Cuttlebug Mania is back from summer vacation with


I used my Big Shot to die cut the banners and embosss.

I hope ya'll have a wonderful week
and put some holly on a Christmas card to join us at

  3. So pretty Bonnie. LOVE that image ... I have it and had forgotten all about it. Need to pull it out. :) Great colouring ... the black really intensifies the other colours. Thanks for sharing with the HLS Christmas challenge. I'm going to add this to the HLS CAS - Colouring challenge as well. xx

  9. This is one of my favorite SU images - no surprise, huh? Love that you've stamped on the fishtail tag with the score lines. Very effective designing. So pretty with the scant black mat & the larger wood embossed one. The candy cane baker's twine bow added such a delightful embellishment, along with the sparkle of the sequins. TFS & joining in with the HLS September Holly Challenge. Hugs
