Merry Monday 53

DSCF3201

Merry Monday, everyone!  Lesley has a sweet sketch for us this week:

I went through some of my Christmas paper scraps to come up with this:

I stamped the sentiment from a small Crafty Secrets Christmas set in Riding Hood Red on a scrap of Melissa Frances Christmas DP and framed it with the oval Designer Frame embossing folder, also in Riding Hood Red:

I diecut a star from the same paper and added a MME Christmas brad as a simple embellishment.  Finally, I stamped a few images from the same Crafty Secrets set in Sahara Sand, collage-style, over the DP….you can see the children playing image below, and I also used a snowflake and a ticket!

I do hope you’ll play along with us – you can find all the details at the blog Always Playing with Paper, as well as all the other designers’ creations!

Oh yes, I caught that pointed finger and the look on her face right away. Playin' is serious business - you should know better than to disturb her ;)
This is a beautiful soft Christmas card. I love the colour combo.
I would love to go back and see all the wonderful creations I've missed of yours while we've been away. I have a bunch of catch up work to do first but hopefully later this week have some time to check them out and make some comments.
Hope all is well with you.
