Merry Monday # 271 Happy New Year !! ~2018

Happy New Year Friends!
Linda is our host this week at Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge to start us off on a new year!
She is asking us to use dry embossing or heat embossing on our Christmas cards. 
I used some Inka gold and did some smooshing, after it was dry I ran it through a CB snowflake folder.  I hope you will join us and play along!
I added some pieces from the SOA set called Here we Come A caroling and a few die cuts from their Winterhaven houses collection.
Heart Hugs, friends!
