Can you believe it's September? Christmas is less than 4 months away and that's a great reason for you to join us at Merry Monday and get started on your Christmas cards! Lesley's made some changes at Merry Monday that I think you'll like, so be sure to check out her blog for specific details on those changes and how to play!
Here's our inspiration photo and guidelines for this week:
You can easily re-create my card and use up scraps of paper you've been saving! I used a piece of red patterned paper I had saved and added a die cut sprig of greenery with punched circles to make my mistletoe. I created a tag for my sentiment and embellished it with a snippet of green striped paper, then finished off my card with red and white Baker's twine to "tie" everything together. I love how everything pops against the Kraft background!
Join us this week at Merry Monday! I can't wait to see what you create!

I've been trying to use some tags on cards and have been a bit challenged so I'm glad to see one that works so well! Love the little snippets and can see that this would be a wonderful way to use some up!
