Un-Christmas Trees - Merry Monday #159

Hey everyone, how are your Christmas card stashes coming along? Time to add another one to the stockpile and play along with us at Merry Monday! This week's theme is to make a Christmas card with any tree that's NOT an evergreen tree, time to get creative and think outside the Christmas tree box! I decided to make my own out of some stitched circles and a freehand trunk. What do you think?

I love these sweet white trees in the inspiration photo:

Embossing at Merry Monday

Hey everyone, I'm back! I've been away from blogland for a few months and I'm so happy to be rejoining my Merry Monday family! This week's theme is to make a Christmas card with wet or dry embossing and I decided to do both, a little dry embossing for the background and heat embossing for the sentiment. Check it out!

Bonnie's inspiration photo is full of great texture:

While I was away, we were welcoming our newest family member, Adalie. Here she is with her big sister Ansley.

Featured Artist at Paper Crafter's Library!

Hey crafty friends! I'm super duper excited to say that today I'm the featured artist over at Paper Crafter's Library. It's a huge resource for free video tutorials, trends and tons of ideas so of course I was blown away when I was asked to be a featured artist. You can check out my project HERE.

Since I'm expecting my second child next month I'm in full on baby mode: setting up the nursery, lamenting my swollen ankles and getting really excited! I guess that's obvious with today's pair of cards. Here's a little sneak peek....

For the full project you'll have to head on over to Paper Crafter's Library. I would love it if you did!
Thanks for stopping by!
