Happy Monday!!
Should those two words really be put side by side? Does anyone really have a happy Monday? Well, I do lots of times actually. Poor Monday gets a bad rap, just because it follows two days of no work or school :) Now today would be an extraordinarily wonderful Monday if the UPS man would bring my two packages that I have been waiting on since LAST Monday!!
Anyway, it is always a happy Monday at Merry Monday, because that's the start of the new challenge for the week! Yay!
This week's theme is to have a snowman on your card. Well, I didn't have any trouble with that. Well, actually I just had trouble trying to decide "which" snowman, out of the hundreds I own, did I want to use! I love snowmen :) I have lots of snowmen stamps and dies.
So I finally decided on this little snowguy from Papertrey Ink ( In The Meadow Dies). He has a matching stamp, but I liked him just plain. I also used the Snow Drifts die cover plate ( Papertrey Ink) for the cute background. I loved cutting out several of these with the different papers and mixing them up! Too fun! I stamped the sentiment ( In The Meadow ) in brown sugar ink ( SU) and popped up the snowman with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you'll play along with us at Merry Monday and have a great week!
Hugs,
Kay :)
Adorable, Kay. I giggled when you said you had a hard time choosing from your snowman stash(I hear that). You chose well, my friend! I like your little guy plain as well. Great use of your pattern papers. You started my Monday with a big smile. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLet it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Love this scene, Kay! And that's perfect paper for the "snowy" sky! Great colors too!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Kay! You used these dies perfectly to create a wintery scene! Love the cute snowman with that sentiment! Have a wonderful week! :)
ReplyDeleteSo Very Pretty with the die-cut snowman Kay! Love the color combo you used :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, Kay! Love your snowman choice and the colours are perfect for this! Gives the card a sweet, wintery feel! I'm sure hoping I receive a delivery today too - I've been running (practically skipping, really) to the mailbox every day in huge anticipation of my latest happy mail waiting there to meet me - and well, you can imagine the look of disappointment on my face when the only thing waiting is bills! Maybe today!!!
