Merry Monday #286

For Merry Monday we are to use our favorite verse on our card.  I don't know if I have an actual verse that I use over and over but I do have one from CF that I haven't used before and it makes a statement on a card.
I heat embossed the holly panel in gold and watercolored with Distress Ink.  The sentiment is heat embossed in white and inked with Bundled Sage.  I wasn't happy with it until I also embossed the edges of the holly panel.

I spent yesterday helping my husband install a new washer and dryer.  My washer gave out last Friday and while I cleaned the small space where they go, Ken took it to the dump and the dryer to Office of Human Services who already had someone in need of it.  I tried a small load after they were in to make sure all the connections were good and now I have a big load in.  It makes entirely different sounds than the old one and it will take some getting used to.  It has a big capacity so no more going to the laundromat to wash my pillow and queen-size quilt.

Thanks for dropping by.  Enjoy your day.

Love the soft green over the white heat embossed sentiment Bobby. Your side panel of holly is so pretty. Great design with adding the gold on the edges to make it stand out. Awesome to get a new washer that has a bigger capacity. xx

Your holly is so pretty, Bobby! I love the gold embossing and how you embossed around the edges of the panel! The soft green sponging is a perfect background for that lovely sentiment! I think that sentiment could become this year's favorite!
