Honored To Be :This Weeks Guest Designer


Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

The Challenge!
I used red and white.
I was so excited to see that my card won last week.  That means I have the honor of being the guest designer for this week.


trying to capture the glitter sparkel 

I hope all my American Friends had a wonderful, long Thanksgiving weekend. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by loving family. To my non American friends I hope you also had a wonderful weekend.

 I cold not stop eating all the left overs , pie, etc! (not very good in the willpower dep. )When my DH came home from golf this morning(we go to church Saturday evening) we went on a very long walk. I made sure we walked as far away from the house as we could.... then we have to walk back. It rained on us part of the way home and we loved it!


I was more than happy that this card came together rather fast.
I hope you will  play along . The Merry Monday design team has  some of the most gorgeous cards to inspire you with. 

Thanks for stopping by.



We walked about 5 miles, one big circle. Our dog Major was in heaven !

    Looks like we both have a weakness for pie. I should say I wish I hadn't eaten so much, but really, I know that's not true. I loved it. It was worth the extra exercise that is now necessary. :) This card is GORGEOUS! I think it is my favorite of all your holiday cards for the year. It's definitely in my top 3. The glitter snow on the pine branches is fabulous as are all the other glitter touches. Love the pictures from your walk as well. I didn't realize you were a bit out on the edge.
