Merry Monday #64 & W9 Mood Board

There is a challenge out there that has been around for awhile, and I have never played in it! [Like I have played in every challenge in blogland, right? HA!]  Anyway, it is Merry Monday.  They had a fabulous sketch and it needs to be a Christmas card.  As fast as this year is going, starting Christmas cards seems like a really good idea.



I used my favorite reindeer stamp [and die] from Hero Arts; Holiday Cheer, and a sentiment from PTI's Big Bold Holiday Wishes.

I just love this sketch! It made a nice flat, mailable card. :)

















I am also playing in another new challenge I found the other day; WPlus9 Design Studio Mood Board.  


This was a really fun challenge.  I think I like "boards".  It's like a photo inspiration, but more detailed.  It was fun picking what images I wanted to work with.  You do need to use WPlus9 stamps.  I only have one set, however, I have a friend who is expecting a baby in July!  Does this work perfect or what!

I used the fun WPlus9 set Onesie Twosie, along with Onesie Twosie Dies..

Yeah, this was a fun one.  I'll be playing in this challenge again~



Thanks for stopping by~
