Merry Monday #1 Dasher Card

Happy Monday!  I am really excited about this post because it is a first in a series of posts that I will do each Monday until Christmas.  The posts will be called Merry Monday and I will post a different Christmas craft each week.  This week's post is an elegant Christmas card using the Dasher stamp from Stampin' Up! I just love this stamp and I know you will be seeing more of him during my Merry Monday posts.  I embossed him with craft ink and added a little dazzling diamonds to his antlers (hard to see in pic).  I really love this ribbon, it makes the most beautiful bows and adds the elegant touch to this card.  I hope you like it and I really appreciate you stopping by!! (I am still adjusting to not having the cherries all over my blog but I am enjoying the new design! :)

All supplies are Stampin' Up! except for the embossing folder that I used that is a Cuttlebug folder (which is one of my faves!)

• Dasher Stamp
• Card Stock: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Whisper White
• Craft ink in Chocolate Chip, clear embossing powder
• Dazzling Diamonds glitter
• Ribbon is 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Early Espresso

Have a great week and stop by Wednesday for Turkey Talk! I am going to post 1 Thanksgiving project each Wednesday until Thanksgiving arrives.  .

Crafting and Chocolate!

Happy Sunday everyone!  I just had to do a quick post to thank my good friend Kerstin from Germany.  She sent me 2 beautiful cards and some delicious German chocolates to go with it!  What is better than crafting and chocolate?  Not much!! :)  So, thank you so much Kerstin, your work is amazing and the chocolates are to die for!
Have a great week everyone!

The Cherries Are Gone...

....But it is still me! :)  Hey everyone!  Okay, so I really had to change my blog.  I LOVED the cherries but it was really busy and I wanted to just have a simple but nice blog design.  Please honestly tell me what you think.  I was so nervous to do it but I really love how it turned out and I hope you do too. :)  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!
