Merry Monday #134 and Virginia's View #9

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  No snow so far here in the middle of the mitten.  I know it's good for the deer hunters and putting people in the Christmas spirit but I hope it holds off for a little while longer.

Speaking of Christmas spirit, I've been playing along with Merry Monday the last few challenges to get my cards done. This week's challenge was a beautiful one.


I'm generally not a blue person.  I know, shocker,  Who doesn't like blue?!  It's not that I don't like it, I just prefer other colors, but I gave in and made this.


I had this wonderful blue foil paper and embossed it in silver with stamps from SSS and Essemtials by Ellen.  The chain die is from Poppystamps, cut in silver - the same silver used for the mat.  Now that I look at it on the screen, it almost looks gold.  Why is that?  The camera? the computer?  the operator?  Probably the latter.  I need to work on that. ;-)

Since I used all that blue and silver metallic, I'm also sending this over to Virginia's View.


Thanks for stopping by.  I always appreciate your visit and comments.

How striking, Bobby ... the shiny blue foil paper is just stunning with the silver embossing ... LOVE that colour combo! SSS Monday have an 'Ornament' challenge on at the moment ... this'd be perfect for it! Anita :)
