Merry Monday Challenge 'Let it Snow'

The Merry Monday Challenge this week was 'Let it Snow'. So I decided to have a stamping and layering week. I stamped the 'winter wonderland' scene, the bow (which also had to be coloured in)  and the 'let it snow' tag. These were all mounted on 3 differing layers of black and white papers and placed on white card.

Merry Monday Purple, White & Silver Christmas Card

Very pleased to receive an honourable mention this week for my purple, white and silver Christmas Card from Merry Monday. Thank you.

The Merry Monday Challenge this week was to create a card using purple, white and silver. With a busy week I have not had time until today and even then not a lot of time to 'play'. I looked at the ideas that had been submitted already and all the thoughts I had considered during the week were there already so I decided to go for this simple design where the colour is everything. I also like having cards suitable to send to Christian friends at Christmas. 

Grandad's Birthday Card

This is my Grandson making Grandad's birthday card.  I drew the shape of the road and the sky line, he coloured it in with watercolour pencils then went over it with water and a paint brush. The sun, trees, and cars were die cuts which he very happily cut out using my Spellbinders mini die cutting machine and then stuck them all on. He had a wonderful time 'crafting' and was very proud of his efforts.

65th Birthday Card

My husbands birthday card this year.  He is passionate about this subject and I also needed to create something regarding the Titanic for this weeks local WI meeting where we are having a talk. So it was killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

Merry Monday Sentiment Card

I didn't have a large sentiment to use for this Merry Monday challenge and as the sentiment had to be the focus of the card, I had to come up with a way of dressing a card to make it interesting.

I found an old picture of a template Christine had given me years ago and decided to use that as my base, cutting out different but hopefully complimentary papers.  I cut out the shapes, stamped the sentiment and stuck them on before embellishing the card with little die cuts, etc. to add interest.  I really enjoyed making it.
