Happy Monday, everyone! What a special day this is! The Merry Monday challenge is celebrating its 200th challenge, and the talented Debbie Henderson asked me to help celebrate! Merry Monday has a special place in my heart, as Lesley asked me to be on the DT at its inception! Even though I am no longer on the team, I still love to participate as much as possible, building up my stash of Christmas cards throughout the year! So I encourage you to do that too!
For this special event, there are four challenges in which you can participate....pick one, two, three or all four! Have fun! I did choose three: snowman, sketch and colors!
And here we go:
I used lots of fun polka-dotted papers from various sources in my stash, and the stitched snowman and tree are from W+9, called Stitched Holiday Icons. Mr Snowman is sitting on some embossed snowy hills (Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillside Borders and SU's Perfect Polka Dots EF) and the stitched stars are from Simon Says Stamp's Bundle of Stitched Shapes:
I made a little banner and stamped a sentiment from Anna Wight's Winter Schminter, and added a panel of Pear Pizzazz, embossed with a Tim Holtz EF called Deer Knit set:
It was all mounted on a Cherry Cobbler card. So much fun to make! I hope you'll play along with us and share it with us over at the MM blog! Can't WAIT to see what you create!

Super cute snowman card, LeAnne! Just love all the details and can see why Debbie asked you to be a special guest!!
I'm so happy to be home again ... will catch up soon, but had to tell you how much I love this card - especially since we've had a bit more winter - and this is better than the real deal! Didn't you wash your baby just like this? It felt like it was possible for me! =] =] yay Cassidy!

Hi LeAnne! Such a sweet card. LOVE the mix of adorable die-cuts, espeically with the polka-dot papers. ADORABLE! Congrats on being a Guest Designer at Merry Monday's 200th Celebration!
Cassidy has grown so much!! She is such a beautiful girl! xx
Yay, congrats on guesting!! I'm smitten with this one LeAnne. You know I love the polka dots and the scarf makes him looks so cozy! Gotta keep those babies clean ;)
What an awesome holiday card, LeAnne! I love the snowman, the die cuts, and the polka dots and gingham. Someone will be thrilled to find this in their mailbox this Christmas (hint, hint)!
Congrats on being a GD. Your card is delightful. The polka dot snow drifts are perfect with the polka dot paper.
Oh Dear LeAnne - I thought that Debbie was the Guest Designer LOL = hope she's not upset with me haahaha!
Your card is so fun with the crispness of it. Loving the traditional colors combined with Kraft paper.
Awww - I remember washing my babies too when I was 6 years old ;)
This card is so much fun, Lee-Anne! Love how you've used the sketch and all those stitched elements! And it's so nice to have you on the team again this week! Thanks for joining in with our Merry Monday celebration!
BTW! I used to always stand my dolls on their heads to dress them. Might have done that to my girls at one time or another. :>)
LeAnn, this is such a sweet card. Love all of the elements. Glad you were able to join us this week at MM's 200th Challenge.
LeeAnn, what a wonderful card and darling snowman!! Thanks so much for celebrating our 200th challenge with us at Merry Monday :)
