Merry Monday Guest Designer Spot!

Happy Monday All, LOVE holiday Mondays! So nice to have an extra day to spend as a family. We have had a busy but fabulous weekend. Mark's Grandmother was in town for a family reunion this weekend and we got to have a nice visit with her as well. Ethan just LOVES having family in town! He is one social butterfly :)

I was so excited when my Snowman card WON the Merry Monday Challenge and that gave me a guest spot this week on the Design Team! So happy to be able to stamp along with all the lovely, talented ladies who bring super fab projects weekly for us all to play along with!

This week we were asked to pick a sketch from any of the past Merry Monday sketches. I only found this project at week 14 so I had many to chose from that I had not tried yet. It was a tough choice because they all rock but I went with the Week #9 sketch, which was designed by a good friend of Lesley's, Torico. You should pop over to to check out her blog http://birdiebrown.blogspot.ca!

Also this particular challenge will run for the whole month of July while some the design team members take a blogging vacation!  We are encouraged to make 4 cards over the course of the month using 4 sketches from the past. Here is card #1 of 4 :)

Our Challenge:

My Card:

This is my FAVOURITE Holiday paper over at Stampin' UP! this year, Be of Good Cheer. I tend to gravitate to the more tradition colour themes for my cards so Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla fit the bill :)

Thanks for stoppin' by!
