Merry Monday #44

We are back with a brand new Merry Monday Challenge today, our first of 2013. Are you ready to get a start on this year's Christmas cards?
 
Lesley has decided to switch it up a little so this weeks challenge is a colour challenge.. for anyone who follows or at least pay attention to my blog knows that I struggle a little with colours. I cheated this time and let the paper do all the work.
 
 
I still have tons of Christmas papers to use for all the Merry cards I will make this year, a few that keep getting passed up.  I look forward to getting a chance to us them.
 
I picked this ornament spellbinders up over the holiday season for $7 crazy right.. so anyway I could not wait to use them. I pulled out one of those above mentioned paper that pretty much covered all the required colours and voila a card is born, urm made. I did added a sentiment, a little silver twine and some gems to finish up.
 
 

Supplies: Cream and turquoise cardstock, Designer Paper –October Afternoon, twine, Spellbinders, Fiskars -Season's Greetings.
 
Stop by Always Playing with Paper to take a look at the Design Team's samples and to join in the challenge fun.

Cheers,
Nina
