Festive Friday – Wishing You a Cozy Holiday…

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven’t been posting as much lately… we have had a lot of different things going on here this week, and next week promises to be just as busy. But I am not complaining, because after that, we’re going to Mexico!

It’s time for some new inspiration for the current challenge on the Festive Friday blog, so I have a new card to share with you using our colours… which I have *loved* using, by the way.

When I sat down to make this card, I had no plan. That’s *not* how I usually roll, my friends. But because I had to steal a few minutes when they presented themselves, I had to just figure it out as I went along. I also decided to try something completely different and *way* out of my usual box…

ONE layer people!! If you’ve been here for any time at all, you know that I just don’t *do* one layer… It went against everything I am comfortable with, but that was kind of the point.

I was also inspired by this week’s Make it Monday, although I obviously didn’t add the layers like Dawn shows. I liked the idea of combining all kinds of images to create stamped layers, though!

I don’t have great gold ink, but those berries are supposed to be gold!

There is more time to play along with this one, if you’re interested! I had fun with these colours for Christmas, and feel like I could keep creating lots with them – if only I had more time… *sigh*

I can’t complain, we are busy for all good reasons… *wink*

Thanks for popping in on me! I am so glad you visited, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    I love it, Meredith! I think the single layer, along with the collaged stamping makes for a really fresh look!!! Very PRETTY, my dear!!!

    Love your layers of stamping! This was a fun MIM although hard for me … Oh, and you'd be so proud of me – I actually had a chance to particpate in your FF colour challenge this time! Whoo hoo! :0
