We're having a CELEBRATION at Merry Monday this week.
It's our 200th challenge!
Wow! That's a lot of Christmas cards!
The best thing about it is that my Christmas cards were done and
ready to mail well before Christmas!
Our way of celbrating is to invite others to help host our party.
All the Merry Making Design Team has chosen a
Guest Designer to join in the fun.
My choice is Loll Thompson of Stamping with Loll
Here's her card.
She chose to do the Inspriation Theme.
Isn't it gorgeous?
Thank you for joining our party, Loll!
I chose the Snowman Theme.
I also used the colors Red, White, Green and Kraft.
I've used the snowman stamps from the retired Season's Greeting set by There She Goes.
I've colored the image with a combination of
Copics, Blendabilities and Zigs .
The background snow is embossing paste through the
Falling Snow stencil by Simon Says Stamp.
I've torn the snowdrifts and edges with Dazzling Details.
I've also added some sparkly stickers to decorate the trees.
Stamping, Stenciling, Alcohol Markers, Zigs, Glitter, Die Cuts
and Fussy cutting put this in the CAS Mix Up gallery.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

I love snowmen and yours are no exception. Isn't it amazing how many supplies and techniques go into 1 card? No wonder we need to go shopping for new stuff all the time lol.

I LOVE this card you've created. Such an adorable image and you've really brought it to life with your colouring. Perfect image for the colour challenge. Love the kraft sky with your stenciled, embossing paste snowfall. The bright red and green just pop off the kraft and white background. Fantastic card that is sure to inspire many to play along. And congrats too on your 200th challenge. I know that you have been with the team since the beginning. That is a huge commitment. You continue to inspire week after week. Thank you!! xx
