Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge {Merriest Holiday Season}

Welcome to another week of the Merry Monday Christmas card Challenge. We hope you will join us and link up a Christmas card using the sketch above. This week I created another card with my Poinsettia die from Spellbinders. I love it. Before I lifted off the metal die from the cut paper, I used it as a stencil and inked the "veins" of the poinsettia and the leaf. I am playing along with the One Year Anniversary Challenge over at Dynamic Duos and chose Cherry Cobbler and my Choice, which is Crumb Cake.

Colour Q 117 and Just Us Girls 117 {Just for You}

The last day of the year is here and with it comes the need to make at least a couple of resolutions. I hope to keep my craft room better organized! That is a BIG one for me. I spent about 5 hours tonight, cleaning and purging my room of creativity!  It feels much more zen and clean!!!  I just love having a tidy desk to work on!!! LOL!

The Colour Q has a wonderful colour combo of Black, White and another colour. My favourite colour from Stampin' Up is "Poppy Parade" and I was excited to use some of my new goodies that I received over the holidays!!!  I took inspiration from the photo Arielle provided. The damask really caught my eye!

Just Us Girls, has a challenge to use felt on your project. Cool huh!!! So I went into my newly organized crafty drawer and found some red felt. Using the Big Shot and my Prima Donna Petals die from MFT, I cut out the flower base. Then I cut the other parts of the flower in regular Poppy paper. The centre of the flower has a pearl.  The sentiment and the French Script background I used on the rectangle, are from two different Inspired by Stamping sets Ahoy Matey and All Year Wishes II. 

Thank you for stopping by!!! Happy New Year to all of my blogging friends!

Smiles,
