** See my first post of the day for this week's Mojo Monday card **
Welcome to a busy Monday on my blog!! I have the wonderful honor of being asked by Lesley to be Merry Monday's Guest Designer for the month of May!I was thrilled when Lesley asked me to join this wonderful team of ladies. In addition, what a fabulous idea to make a Christmas card per week so your Christmas card stash is pretty well set by the end of the year, leaving you one less thing to worry about come that busy time of year.
I squealed when I saw this sketch! You see, I finally broke down and got PTI's snowflake die a few months ago and when I saw this sketch, I was so excited not have to wait until November to use it :) Added bonus: I got to use my favorite Christmas word die too!
The rest of the Merry Monday Crew have fabulous samples of this week's sketch. Below is a link to each of their blogs.
What's In It?
Stamps: Background Basics (Stampin' Up)
Paper: Kraft, Real Red, Wild Wasabi (Stampin' Up)
Ink: VersaMark
Accessories: Snowflake and Holly Dies (PTI), Joy Die (WPlus9), Button, Twine, Black Half Pearl, Glue Dot, Dimensionals
What a fab card, Marisa. Lucky you to have gotten that new snowflake die. The word die is perfect, too.
