Time to add another one to the stockpile and play along with us at <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Merry Monday</a>! 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?<br />

I've been away from blogland for a few months and I'm so happy to be rejoining my <a href="http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Merry Monday</a> 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!<br />

I'm super duper excited to say that today I'm the featured artist over at <a href="http://blog.papercrafterslibrary.com/featured-artist-katie-melhus/" target="_blank">Paper Crafter's Library</a>. 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 <a href="http://blog.papercrafterslibrary.com/featured-artist-katie-melhus/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
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....<br />

I drew from the color palette and added some gold and red accents to my wreath. I stamped the wreath and then overlayed it with some die cut leaves. The sentiment and bell embellishments are from some sticker packs I've had in my stash forever. I love it when you dig up something you've forgotten and put it to good use!<br />

As you can see, there is a bit more of me to love these days because we are expecting our second child February 19 (Which can't come soon enough as far as this pregnant lady is concerned!) We are having another little girl, and are currently completely stumped for names...any suggestions?<br />
