Merry Christmas

Hello!

From Halloween yesterday to a Christmas card today....

I wanted to play along at Merry Mondays again this week where the challenge is to make the sentiment the focal point.  I got an Honourable Mention for my card last week which was a great surprise :)



I gold embossed one of the new Tim Holtz Christmas sentiments in gold and die cut with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle.  I inked the edges with Antique Linen and framed the sentiment with the fab pine cone stamps and dies from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

I will also join in at Addicted to Stamps and More which has a holiday theme for its current challenge.

Finally, I shall link up at the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge which has a Christmas theme.

It is great to be ahead with my Christmas cards for a change - if I can make a few a week from here on I should be just about ok this year :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind comments.

Bye for now,

    Congrats on your well deserved Honorable Mention, Sarah! Another gorgeous card, too! I love how you used gold EP for your sentiment and the pine cones are such a perfect way to frame it out! Love the heart, too! So pretty and festive, and a great way to get started on your Christmas cards!
