Merry Monday Card Challenge #120

Good Morning and welcome to a new Merry Monday Christmas Challenge. This week I am the hostess for this challenge I am asking you to Use Skis, skates or a sled on your card.


I grew up in a small town, my childhood had a lot of outdoor time - we had a big hill to go sledding and a lake to skate. There was a small ski hill not far from us but cross country skiing was more common. I don't recall the last time I had fun doing any of these activiies but my husband and I enjoy snowshoeing when we get the chance.

I found a great designer paper with trees on it then created some snow drifts with white card stock and popped them up with foam tape. I stamped and die cut the skies and sled and put them behind the snow drifts. I added a simple sentiment and some white flowersoft  as snow.




Supplies: White and brown card stock, Designer Paper – XX, XX, clipart, PaperTrey Ink - Stamps and die cuts, white flower soft.

The Merry Monday design team of talented ladies had some great inspiration waiting for you over on the blog... Stop by, and play along.

Thank you for visiting :),
Nina

  12. I can relate to the "small" town, with lots of outdoor space...nice hills to sled on (in fact, there is now a small ski resort where I used to go sledding! and it had an Unsafe lake to skate on ...Yes, once and while I would skate there...(I think I can blame it on the fact, I didn't know any better at the time...

    Sorry for the rambling...Your beautiful card brought back some great memories! Pretty card, so fits the inspiration picture...and I like how you added the flower soft to embellish the card!
