Merry Monday Challenge Week #72

Hello & Happy Monday!

Today is the start of something new over at Merry Mondays! Lesley from over at Always Playing With Paper has given us new challenges to help us get those Christmas cards made. I love the new stuff & the challenges to come!

Here we go...

 I was inspired by the pretty packages in the picture so I used a Kraft Gift Box that I have on hand. Wish I would have had some beautiful red & white striped ribbon but no such luck. Along with my Kraft Gift Box I made a matching Gift Card to go with it.

I used some retired Holly Berry Bouquet DSP and matching felt holly. My sentiment on the box comes from the retired set, Christmas Punch. The sentiment on the Gift Card comes from the same set. My Gift Card has a piece of Stitched Real Red Grosgrain ribbon on it under the felt holly. I then added some red rhinestones and called them done. I'm quite happy with my gift set and have started making more!

Well, that is all for me today!

Headed out around noon to spend the day my family. Just hope the thunderstorms stay away! It's been so humid here....reminding me of the weather we had in Jamaica. I'm ready for fall/cooler weather!

Enjoy your day & Happy Labor Day, friends!

See you tomorrow!
