Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

I am getting way too excited about Christmas cards just now and so I have come across another challenge that I am excited to be entering for the first time - Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.

The theme is 'The words have it' and we are are to make the words on the card the centre of attention.

I recently bought a gorgeous wee die cutter from Clearly Besotted that reads 'baby'…..most would think of using this for a new baby card, but no, not me! Out the box thinking me, decided that this, in glittery red card would be perfect under the word 'Santa' to create 'Santa Baby'….. I didn't have a suitable Santa word stamp and so this had to be done on my laptop, as did the added Santa hat! I did decorate the santa hat fur with a little glue and white glitter post printing. The 'baby' was die cut for red card three times and layered together, with a final fourth layer added in glitter card. As seems to be my way right now, a very CAS card but one I think it quite fun!

Here it is…..




Many thanks for having me at Merry Monday! Any comments always so very much appreciated xxx
