The countdown to Christmas has started (it's less than 3 months away) and there isn't a more perfect time for you to get started on your holiday cards! Join us for the Merry Monday Christmas Card Club Challenge, hosted by Lesley Croghan at Always Playing with Paper, and get going on those cards right away! Here's this week's inspiration photo and challenge details to get you started:
My card for you this week is super simple and could be easily mass-produced. I love the look of the white punched snowflakes against the soft Pool Party background! I added a rhinestone to the center of each snowflake to complement the vertical border of Basic Gray and Silver Glimmer. A seasonal sentiment stamped in Basic Gray adds the perfect final touch! Clean, simple and elegant!
See what the rest of the Merry Makers made for this challenge here! I know you'll be inspired by these talented ladies! Then get out your supplies and join us! I can't wait to see what you create!

This card is simple and stunning at the same time, Margaret. Love the trio of snowflakes, and the rhinestones and glimmer paper add just the right amount of sparkle.
