Since my new WPlus 9 word dies were still out, I decided to play along with this week's Merry Monday sketch.Joy is one of my favorite words and it was great fun using this die. I pulled out some Carta Bella Winter Fun paper and focused on a snowflake theme.
I added a dark brown snowflake for a pop of colour and some bling in the middle for a bit of sparkle. Yeah! Made my first Christmas card of 2013.
Short and sweet today as I have a busy day ahead. Thanks for visiting!
