Merry Mojo Monday

Ornaments are the thing this week over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.  And I used the sketch from Mojo Monday this week also.

When selecting an ornament I decided to go with one that I don't use very often….in a set that I use a lot!  To get the dots on the circle, I brayered some Old Olive ink onto the embossing folder.

Now I'm off to get my hands dirty with some paint - hope you have had a wonderful day.  Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Deck the Halls...

I know we're barely into the year, but I think I'm on a roll with participating with Merry Monday so far!  This week they have a colour challenge with ribbon added.  I've used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip with the Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon sprucing up the ornaments.  (I'm sorry that the embossing powder is so shiny in the photo!)

Here is their challenge:

Also - here are the Weekly Deals for January 21-27.  Remember I'm putting my own order on Friday, January 24 - so if you want to have a chance to receive the Hostess Benefits, e-mail me with your order, or shop-on line at my store and use the Hostess Code….  GW3A4MHJ

Merry Silent NIght

It's the middle of the week already - Sheesh!  And only one day of school left before the long weekend - WooHoo!

Today I'm posting the card I created for the Merry Monday Challenge.  It's a sketch that I think I'll use this upcoming season!  Of course I'll use newer paper than I have for my post here...but it's fun using up old scraps.

A quick post today - hope your day is going along fine.

Thanks for dropping by -

Mocha Christmas

Well - this card certainly suits the weather here today.  When I was greeting the children at the door this morning, I had a parent ask me how the Christmas concert was coming along.  I told him it was cancelled due to weather.  Yikes!

Anyway - I love monochromatic cards, and I love shades of brown - so today we have a mocha sort of Christmas card for Merry Monday.

I'm off to make some chili for dinner and then hunker down with some crafting.

If you live in Alberta - hope you're staying warm.  If you have green grass and blossoms - I'm jealous!

But it will come eventually.

Thanks for stopping by!
