Hi everyone. Christmas is not very many weeks away now ... still making cards, but getting close to being finished. Won't be long before I need to start getting these in the mail!
Today's Merry Monday challenge (#83) is both a theme and color challenge ... check it out ...
Honestly, I was stumped with this one for a while. Once I figured out that my fence is stripes, I was off and running :)
Here's a close-up:
Stamps: Snowman Sayings (Amy R)
Paper: White, Real Red, Chocolate Chip (SU!)
Ink: Real Red (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Big Shot, Four Seasons Fence Die (C.C. Designs), Birch Trees die (Impression Obsession), Small Forest Tree die (Simon Says), Holiday Shapes die (Simon Says), Sparkle Texture Effect (Martha Stewart), Dazzling Diamonds (SU!), Stamp-a-ma-jig, glue, adhesives and dimensionals
I hope I have inspired you to join us for this fun challenge. Check out Lesley's blog (Always Playing with Paper) to see the amazing creations from the rest of the Design Team.

This is beautiful, Loll!
This is such a gorgeous, wintry scene, Loll. That red birds really stand out against the white snow. What a great idea with the fence for your stripes...so creative.
You do make the most delicious cards, Loll ... this is stunning ... such a gorgeous scene! Anita :)

Love your frosty fence and tree Loll! Your card makes me shiver!
Oh Loll, what a wonderful creation. I love it~ May have to case it!
This is so pretty. The snow on the tree is beautiful and I love the redbirds.
Love your snowy fence and tree! Made me feel chilly looking at it but simply beautiful, Loll! xx
What a clever idea to use your fence as the stripes! Great take on the challenge, which I agree stretches the brain! Love the snow effects and the little red birds.
Stunning little scene Loll love the red cardinals in the tree:)

gorgeous Loll, I love the snow on the fence and the top of the torn card. The pops of red really say Xmas! x
Wow a classic beauty! Love all of the white, the texture, the sparkle and just the right pop of red!
Hi Loll, this is so beautiful, the red birds really stand out and I love the added sparkle, Cathy x
What wonderful eye candy, Loll! The sweet red birds are gorgeous in the snowy tree! Truly an inspiration!
Such a gorgeous scene, Loll! The red and white is so striking and the sparkle you added to the top of the snow bank is just perfect! I really, really, really (yes, that's 3) love those darling little birds, too!
You know I fell in love with this one, with my favorite red birds. I was channeling you today as I worked with some MB dies, & tearing paper as you so beautifully do. While waiting for a layer to dry that I had stickled & glittered, a nap seemed like a fine thing to do. After hauling out at 8am, promises to be here between 9-9:30- DH got a call that it had to be rescheduled until tomorrow. They didn't allow for today being a USA holiday! (Sounded fishy to me, and I was really aggravated). DH said if I raised a fuss, we might get some poorly installed windows, so I kept my mouth shut. They better show tomorrow!) Hugs & TFS
LOVE this Loll. Your crisp white scene and the red pop with the birds and sentiment is fabulous! xx
Another stunning CAS card, Loll. I love the white on white with the little red accents.
This is stunning! I love your perfectly snowy scene.
I want to be YOU for a while...just a little while.....so I can make gorgeous cards like you do! Or at least play with all your fun dies and goodies! This is just so pretty.....simple and yet so very elegant. LOVE IT.
Love the little snowy scene you created Loll, beautiful Holiday card.
Your snow is the bomb, Lolly! This whole card is a gasper! I love everything about it, especially the iconic red cardinals ... well, after the snow, I love the cardinals best! Hugs, Dolly
