Merry Monday 255:

Happy Monday all!  I hope the weekend was good to you!  So....  can you believe we are into September already?!?!?  I say this every month, but seriously where did the summer go!!??

One good thing about the summer flying by is that Merry Monday is BACK!!  Trust me, blink, and it will be November and you will be happy you have been playing along with our weekly challenge.  Christmas is sneaky that way =)

We have a lot of changes to the Merry Monday team including lots of new faces (plus a step down - we will miss you Kathy!!) so come play along!  

This week at Merry Monday, Marcia would like us to create a Christmas card with JOY: 

I knew exactly where to dig in my stash - Reverse Confetti's Merry and Bright stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts.  I used a beautiful Rose Gold embossing powder for the bulbs and the scallop trim as well.  

Trust me, the rose gold is a beautiful combination with the green even if it's looking a little off in my photos.  It can be quite hard to capture that glimmer and shine!

Stamps:  Reverse Confetti Merry and Bright

Die cuts:  Reverse Confetti Merry and Bright, Reverse Confetti Pierced Round Top Layers, My Favorite Things Blueprints 21 (retired)

Frosting:  Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold embossing powder, Reverse Confetti Very Merry paper, Reverse Confetti solid twine

As always, do not forget to check out the rest of my teamies' fantastic creations at Merry Monday and come play along too!!!
