Merry Monday with a Scandinavian feel # 230



PTI's Fair Isle Motifs just speaks Scandinavian to me!  My husbands family is from Norway and the cross stitch reindeer just reminds me of Norway and their wonderful tapestries and cross stitch works.
This week Marcia is asking for a Scandinavian feel to our card or have the word Noel on it.  I covered all of that with this card!
I hope you will join us this week at the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge and play along.  Check out all the inspiration from the team


Heart Hugs, friends!

Beautifully crafted, Colleen--love this! Hope you're surviving the ice & snow--think it's much better down here based on what I see on TV!

That cross stitch pattern is very pretty and different. I love the red and white. Very pretty card. I've been thinking of you with all the snow and ice in your state. It's on the news every day!
