Since my entry for Merry Monday's "The words have it" challenge was the winner last week, I was asked to be their guest designer for this week's challenge. What a fantastic honor to be chosen by fellow stampers - I am thrilled!! The challenge this week is to use polka dots and/or stripes in a Christmas card. So here is my card - my first guest design card AND my first shaker card!!!
Thanks so much to the Merry Monday blog for inviting me to be their guest designer this week - hop over to their blog and design a Christmas card with polka dots and/or stripes!
Supplies:
Dies: PTI Circle shaker; Hero Arts "Fancy Cuts Christmas"
Paper: Teresa Collins "Tinsel & Company; We R vellum
Other: sequins from Teresa Collins and my stash
Thanks for visiting today and your kind comments. Betty
