Merry Monday (on Saturday)

 I made this card for this week's Merry Monday Challenge #120,  You can find the link to the challenge here....



I'm still not sure I should enter it...It is definitely a "cheater" card...but it still seems to fit the rules...To make a card with a ski, sled or skates on it.   My card was made using fabric that I burnished to sticky paper,  and then fussy cut out.  Just stamped a sentiment from Stampin' Up and my card was done!  Hope it's not considered too CAS!  Smile...
   


 These cards were made with the sizzix die I purchased with the gift card I won in Darnell's NBUS challenge.   And before, this die would become  NBUS,  I thought I better get it out and use it.
(the Link to Darnell's great blog is on my sidebar)   I now have 4 more cards to add to my Christmas stash which means I am up to 37 cards so far, this year.
 This is a pic of the die I used and what I used to adhere my fabric to my card...

  5. Congrats on winning Darnell's NBUS challenge (so much fun, that one!) and what wonderful cards you've created! Adhering material to a card: brilliant, and especially this particular scene! It's a real smile-maker! The other three are pretty,+++! Way to go with 37 Christmas cards in your stash; my current total is a big fat zero! The Longview Gardens look beautiful...

  6. Love the first card with the fabric. Don't think it's a "cheater card" at all! So very pretty and love the simplicity of that wonderful design.
    Great buy with your win - and great cards! Love all of them.

  18. Beautiful card! I was intrigued to read it was done with fabric(oh I have tons of that! Always try to think of a way to use some of it in my (sort of!) new hobby. I like this one! Enjoyed your Sizzix die cards - so pretty, and a wonderful use of your prize. Darnell will be so proud that you didn't let your win become a NBUS! You should enter Rudolph day on the 25th and build your stash by 2 more cards!!! TFS
