This week's Merry Monday Challenge is hosted by my
dear friend Marcia. And she chose.....
I was inspired by the paneling and pine sprigs. I loved the red peppermints but didn't have
any stamps that would work, so I chose a piece of red and green plaid ribbon to
mimic the colors of the candies.
I'm also going to enter this at the Poppystamps Challenge
and I'll add this to the gallery at CAS Christmas where Christine is hosting.
Enjoy!
