Merry Monday #37

This weekend seemed to zoom on by again, it is Monday already :). The rain sure is making up for lost time, I am not complaining though as it is perfect nesting weather. My husband brought me a new Tassimo as an early birthday prezzie and I loved snuggling down with book and sipping a Vanilla Latte.
 
I have not looked at any count downs to Christmas but it is coming up quickly. Lesley has a new sketch for us for Merry Monday.
 
 
I was all over the place with this card, I think I have all the sketch elements just not anywhere they should be.  This new 6x6 Carta Bella paper pad arrived in the mail and I could not wait to make a card.
 
There are tons of layers to this card, the ovals are 3 layers deep and my new Dee Designs die cut is layered and popped up with foam tape.  I cut out a portion of the DP for the sentiment and added the twine. It was not until I finished the card that I realized I had forgotten the flag so I added a small one after the fact.  The card may be crazy busy but I like how it turned out.
 

 
Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Designer Paper-Carta Bella, Dee Designs-Die Cuts, misc twine, Spellbinders dies cuts, embossing folder, misc punch.

Stop by Always Playing with Paper to see what Lesley and the Merry Makers have created. We would love for you to play along with us for Merry Monday this week.

Cheers
Nina
