Merry Monday #217

I haven't had a chance to play with Merry Monday since they started back after summer break.  This week they are asking for vintage/retro cards and I went the retro path.

I white embossed the pine branches from Essentials by Ellen on aqua mist cs.  The little ornaments from the same set were silver embossed and colored with Zigs.  I was inspired by this photo I found on the internet.
I white embossed a sentiment from MSE.  Inside it says . . ."Have a happy holiday" all from the 1958 song by Brenda Lee.  I'd say 1958 qualifies for retro.

Thanks for dropping by.
