Merry Monday #29




Good afternoon, blogger friends!  I love the sketch this week on Merry Monday.  I think it lends itself to mass production, if that is something a person needs to do as Christmas gets closer.  (And I am not going to need to mass produce this year.  Yes!!!)

First of all, I flipped the sketch.  I decided to use a piece of My Mind's Eye, 12 Days of Christmas "Deck the Halls" paper.  The trees are on one side and the blue paper with green dots are on the other.  I added a scalloped border on both edges of the DSP, and I adhered this to an always artichoke base.  For my sentiment, I used the Little Flowers set from Inspired by Stamping.  I was going to add another tree to the side of the sentiment, but I decided the DSP trees were enough.  I usually make 4 cards instead of just one, and one piece of 12 by 12 paper was the perfect amount for 4 cards.

Seven more months until Christmas eve. . .I'm going to be ready this year.  Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Ah, I have to agree with you about not mass producing Xmas cards...that's no fun at all, is it??

    Love the tree-ful paper you used, and the way you turned the sketch.
