Merry Monday #296 {Rustic Christmas Cards}

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 everyone - Lori here...before we get to this week's challenge (hosted by Nina), I'd just like to take this time to let you know that Lesley has decided to close the doors on Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. This will be our last challenge and the winners will be announced next Monday. 

 We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our participants, designers, guest designers and coordinators that have been a part of such an amazing challenge for so many years! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts....it's goodbye for now, but possibly not for forever! Life has just taken some turns that we need to take and for now we must say goodbye! Love and hugs,

 The Merry Monday family



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!

 5. Follow the weekly challenge closely.

    So sorry to see the close of this awesome challenge. I just found it a couple months ago & did participate for the penguin challenge. I love seeing all the different Christmas cards! So much inspiration! I know it's a hard job tho, and home life should take precedence. Best of luck in whatever life brings you?
