Merry Monday #40

Halloween is all done and all the stores have jumped feet first into Christmas. I love that I have all the Christmas card for this year done already. With that said, we have a new Merry Monday Challenge today to continue to build on the collection. Lesley has a new and wonderful sketch for us this week.
 
 
I did not do a very good job on cutting my panels :) but it still worked out. I pulled out my Spellbinders die cuts and created a little open book, the edges are slightly inked and popped up with foam tape. I finished with some gold twine and pearls.

Don't forget to stop by Always Playing with Paper to leave a comment and see the design team's fantastic creations and to play along with the newest Merry Monday Challenge.

Supplies: Cream and Brown cardstock, Designer Paper –Echo Park, Verve-Christmas in the Air, Spellbinders die cuts, twine and gems.

Cheers,
Nina
