Happy Monday, peeps! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Wendy is our hostess this week and she has a lovely seasonal challenge for the Merry Monday today:
I chose to use a lovely retired Artistic Outpost image of a cardinal sitting on a pine branch with two pine cones:
I stamped him in Stazon, then colored the images with markers, added some speckles and glitter, then used a die from Apothecary Accents to cut it out. I then mounted it on a Real Red Chalk Talk diecut and added a red plaid ribbon from my stash and a little piece of burlap:
I am trying to use some of the piles of designer paper I have, so I found this nice woodgrain one and used it for my background. And the same AO set had another pinecone image, so I stamped that in Crumb Cake on the inside along with another sentiment:
The design team has created some lovely samples using this traditional Christmas greenery…be sure to check them all out and share yours with us as well!
Cassidy delivered a plate of playdoh cookies to Grampy while he was working in his garage:
She promptly wanted to help him (of course)!!!
Maybe when she’s a wee bit older!!! Enjoy your day!

What a clean garage floor! Cleaner than my kitchen floor right now ;). What a thoughtful granddaughter, and wearing her apron too!
Hello LeAnne, Beautiful card!
I am in Downingtown today. One day. We are going to go for a walk and rest up for the long drive home. It has been a fast and furious weekend. I hope to talk someone in to taking me to ACMoore. Is there any other place I should go?
I am so tired but hubby is snoring away and I can't sleep. I would love to meet you but I know it is all so short notice. That seems to be my crazy world. How far are you?
Such a pretty card, LeAnne! I love that stamp...GORGEOUS!

Tfs ,
Hugs to you both

Every detail in this card is just gorgeous, LeAnne. Cardinals have a special place in our hearts at Christmastime - my Grandma loved them :) So pretty! Cassidy makes an awesome apprentice, too :)
My jaw just hit the floor when I saw your card, LeAnne! It's GORGEOUS! Love the pretty image, the tag, burlap and that yummy ribbon! It's fabulous! I'm in plaid ribbon heaven this week! Haha! :)
Gorgeous coloring & the burlap is such a great element! Now that's one cute helper!
So, so pretty, LeAnne! The cardinal and pine boughs are gorgeous, and I love the sparkle of glitter. I wanted to play along with this challenge and I've searched high and low but I don't have a scrap of plaid ribbon. How can that be?! Time to go shopping...
LeAnne what a pretty festive card, love the touch of burlap!
I adore the gingham knotted ribbon LeAnne, this is wonderful!! Also love the squeaky clean garage floor ;)
