One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Merry Monday # 52 Challenge

Another Merry Monday card...did I tell you that my BFF is here with me?  Well, she came down for my birthday week, so we get to spend all our time (except for eating) in the studio making cards.  And we decided it was a good time to explore more and new challenges.  AND I talked her into doing some Christmas challenges...I think she is on board with that idea now!

                                                           
                                                           
This time I chose to keep it really simple.  I used fine linen pattern paper for my background, added a strip of ripe avocado, die cut the bells and boughs and stamped them with scarlet jewel and ripe avocado.  The sentiment and all the stamps are from Bells and Boughs PTI.

Thank you for taking a look.
