Merry Monday #132 {Snowflakes, Neutral Colors and Dry Embossing!}

Welcome to another challenge at Merry Monday! 

This is the challenge all about Christmas cards and getting a head start on the Christmas season. 

Before we get into this week's challenge, I need to share some news. Design team member, LeAnne Pugliese has decided to step down from the Merry Monday team. She has been with us since the beginning of this challenge and I am sad to see her go! I love working with her and I know you will agree her work is inspiring and wonderful! LeAnne will be playing along when she is able...being a grandma is a full time job! Thank you, LeAnne for all of your hard work! You will be missed!


This week we are looking for a vintage snowflake card! 
Use dry embossing and neutral colours such as kraft, cream, white, black, gray and so on. 


1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).
2. The challenge will be either a theme, an inspiration photo, a sketch or a colour combo.
3. Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery. (Who doesn't love comments!)
4. Have fun!

Merry Monday #131 {Non-Traditional Colors}

Welcome to another challenge at Merry Monday! This is the challenge all about Christmas cards and getting a head start on the Christmas season.
Hello crafty friends...Lori here, sharing this week's challenge with you all! I am a very "traditional" girl and I love the usual rich greens, deep reds, gold and silver at Christmas time. However, every time I go to a "Festival of Trees" I always admire those "funky, neat colored trees" I see there. This tree caught my eye and I thought it was perfect for a non-traditional challenge! Have fun!



1. Each week there will be a brand new challenge posted on Monday at 5am (PST).

 2. The challenge will be either a theme, an inspiration photo, a sketch or a colour combo.

 3. Each participant is encouraged to comment on 3 cards in the Gallery. (Who doesn't love comments!)

 4. Have fun!

Our winner this week chosen by LeAnne...

Lily-By-Gilly

one-layer-White-Christmas-card

Oh my, there were so many lovely entries this week, it was hard to choose just one!  Gill's beautifully simple card, with the gold washi tape and gold sequins, is calm and serene....and easily duplicated!  It really caught my eye--definitely pin-worthy and as sweet as can be!  

 Congrats, Gill ! We hope you will join us as a Guest Designer.  Please email Bonnie at bonklass at gmail dot com. Be sure to put "Merry Monday Guest Designer" in the subject line.

 2. The challenge will be either a theme, an inspiration photo, a sketch or a colour combo.
