Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is to make a Christmas card with newsprint.   I was stoked when I found this patterned paper with a collage of holiday newsprint - bonus!

Aren't these cute ornaments in the inspiration photo?

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:

Merry Stenciling

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is chosen by our hostess Deanne, and she is challenging us to make a Christmas card using a stencil.

How cute is this stenciled Santa?

And in baby Adalie news.... This week she laughed for the first time!  Here she is snoozing on the couch, looks like a pretty good dream to me :)

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.
