Happy Monday, everyone! Time for another Merry Monday challenge! Before we get to it, though, I want to remind you that three of my favorite stampers will be sharing a little bit about themselves via the Creative Blog Hop today. Please check out their blogs: Sandy, Joanne and Claire! Stop by and leave them a little love!

Bonnie makes the most amazing cards! For her challenge, I again chose a simple design with a simple wreath, using a tag I had diecut and was already laying on my desk:
I stamped my wreath in Mossy Meadow, then mounted it on a stitched mat in some retired Wintergreen DP. I added a few ribbons to the tag and some silver “ornaments”
I added a silver embossed panel and stamped my sentiment in silver as well; and here’s the inside:
I hope you’ll play along with us and make a wreath-themed card! You’ll be able to add one more card to your Christmas card stash! And be sure to check out all the designers’ creations at the Merry Monday blog!
One of Cassidy’s gifts for her birthday was a nice little two-wheeler. She’s adept at tricycles, but the two-wheeler proved a little more challenging:
We’ll keep working on that!

Adorable card. I like the idea of using a tag.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem isn't the new bike. It is that hat. She can't see. LOL Well she is well protected if she falls. Such a sweet picture!
This card made me catch my breath. I love the background paper and the gray embossed panel I think it's the wreath that got me. So down to earth with a few ornaments on it. It is really stunning. The look on Cassidy's face says it all!

ReplyDeleteLovely card! We're still working on a 2 wheeler with Boy- he turned 7 in July. I felt a bit better when our neighbor said her son was in 4th grade when he decided he "could" ride a bike w/out training wheels. Boys. *sigh*
