Using Plaid for Merry Monday



Colleen is our hostess this week and she chose


I die cut this ornament from a bit of ribbon I bought to decorate a wreath.

I was amazed at how well the die cut the ribbon.

It has a bit of metallic gold thread running through it which made it 
difficult to photograph.

My camera doesn't like sparkle, glimmer or shine!

This also works for



I hope you'll join us at Merry Monday and get a jump
on that Christmas card stash.

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
