Merry Monday Challenge

Even though it is still the first week of January I'm making Christmas cards! I came across the blog "Always Playing with Paper" that has a Christmas Card Challenge every Monday and I've decided to try and play along as often as I can. It's always good to get an early start on those Christmas Cards!!  Here's a link to the site:

Here is the card I made using this week's sketch challenge.


After I got going on this I remembered our dog chewed up my embossing buddy right before Christmas, so I have some extra gold embossing in some places. I may end up redoing this once I purchase another embossing buddy!  :-)

All stamps are DRS Designs - Ornament 844K, Merry Christmas 346B and Polka Dot background 688P. Everything is stamped in gold and then heat embossed in gold. I used a nestie ornament die and a Martha Stewart border punch. And now my first Christmas Card for 2012 is completed!  Yeah!

Until next time,
