A LITTLE STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR MERRY MONDAY #71

I really do wish I'd been more organized, and joined in the fun of Lesley's Merry Monday Challenges sooner!  What a great idea, to make one Christmas card a week during the year - really takes the pressure off at the "pointy end" of the year.  Oh well, I think I can claim that I'm "on a roll", as I have joined in this week's Merry Monday Challenge, after playing along last week.

Here's Lesley's sketch:




... and my card, featuring the stack of presents from "Wishing You", one of the gorgeous new sets available in Australia and New Zealand at the end of August:



Stamps: Wishing You (available 29th August), Sweet Essentials. Owl Occasions (not current)
Card: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations
DSP: Season of Style Designer Series Paper (out 29th August)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler stampin' pad and marker, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Old Olive marker, Baked Brown Sugar marker
Other: Ovals framelits, 3/4" Circle punch, Small Oval punch, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, sanding block, sponge dauber, stampin' dimensionals, 1 1/4" burlap ribbon (available 29th August)
