Today's the last Monday in November and my last week as Featured Designer at the Merry Monday Challenge with Lesley Croghan and her Merry Makers! I've really enjoyed working with these talented ladies this month! It's been so much fun and so inspiring to be a part of this creative group. I can't thank them enough for letting me share in the fun these past few weeks!
You're going to love this week's sketch that Lesley has designed for you! It holds so many possibilities and I know you'll find it to be one you'll keep on file and use again. Here's the sketch:
I used some bright and cheery coordinating papers from a stack I bought last year to create my card for this week! My jolly Santa was snipped out of one of the papers included in the group and assembled in layers, with the help of a few dimensionals. I love his sparkly beard and trim on his hat! The Ho Ho Ho sentiment was created with the My Digital Studio 2+ program and punched out with a circle punch. This was a fun card to put together and I love the way it turned out! I hope you do too! If you do, please let me know by leaving me a comment! I read every single one and I really love hearing from you!
Take a peek at what the Merry Makers did with this versatile sketch by visiting their blogs! I've provided the links below for your convenience. Be sure to visit and leave them some love!
