Merry Monday #276

So far I think I've only missed one Merry Monday challenge but then it's only six weeks into the new year. :)  This week is a photo challenge.

I was inspired by the frosty window and pine boughs.

Instead of just frosting the window panes, I made a shaker card.  When I reached for a bottle of glitter I found out it was micro beads which was even better.  I know the Christmas tree is a little hidden but if I had my tree in a window it would be centered and so this one is.  The TH boughs were heat embossed with Sparkling Snow and the sentiment from PTI is stamped with Altenew Evergreen.

This is the first shaker I've made in a while and I must say that the Scor-Tape worked beautifully to hold it all together.  Much better than the glue I had been using.  Instead of foam strips, I used extra thick fun foam which is a good depth, at least for these beads.

Thanks for taking a peek through my window.

I'm running late with my card for Merry Monday.  I quickly made it last night and am posting before church this morning.  It's a color challenge.

Stamps from Neat and Tangled, inks from Altenew, aperture from Pretty Pink Posh.  The tree is silver embossed and the ornaments clear embossed for shine you can't see here.  Maybe this photo is better.

I did this in remembrance of the aluminum trees back in the day.

Thank you so much for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

The Merry Monday challenge wants to see Santa on our cards.  I only have two Santa stamps.  One is tiny to fit in a snow globe and the other one is on my card.

He's peeking through the window to see if everyone is in bed.  Actually it looks like he's tapping on the window.  I hope he doesn't wake the children.

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.
