Merry Monday #287

I had an idea right away about what I wanted to use for the Merry Monday challenge.
And then I scrolled down and saw that DT Member Marcia Hill had used the same set.  Now the challenge was how to use mine without copying her.  I think I managed.
I started by using texture paste through the SSS snowfall stencil.  While that was drying I cut my houses and trees from patterned paper.  The slope is cut from the same CPD die set as the houses, stamped with the PTI sentiment and popped up.

For those of you interested, the World Championship of Robotics is this weekend in Detroit.  I won't be going in person to see my granddaughter but I will be able to watch the live stream on my computer.  I just keep it on in the background so I can see the team when they're competing and meanwhile I get some crafting done.  Win, win.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a wonderful day.
