My Favortite Things and Simon Says Challenges

For my post today, I am playing in a few challenges.  My blog has actually been quiet [for me], and, I still need more Christmas cards.  Might as well play and share with all of you too - win-win.

My Favorite Things Sketch #308.  I purchased Blooming Roses [and dies] a few days ago, and wanted to play with this set.  Perfect that I had a MFT sketch to use.

I went ahead and made this card using all MFT products; Pierced Circles, Fishtails Flags, Booming Roses and matching dies [retired].


I went on to join in both Monday [3 of something] & Wednesday [Christmas to die for] Simon Says Challenges.

 Again, I also purchased Simon Says Summer Garden [and matching dies] (retired) a while ago, and decided to use this set.  I colored the 3 flowers red to represent poinsettias.  The Merry Christmas [that you can hardly see...] is from Simon Says Candy Cane Christmas.

Okay, that was a fun break.  Now I am off to address my Christmas cards for mailing tomorrow.


Thanks for stopping by~
