Mojo Monday Plus 2 New Challenges




In addition to using Julee's fabulous Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge, I also made this card for 2 new (to me) challenges:
Tuesday Taggers - feature the words Peace, Love, Joy on your project
Paper Cutz Challenge #68 - use lots of bling on a Christmas card
I had a brainstorm for my new MS holly punch (love those 40% coupons at Mike's!) and love how my wreath turned out! I punched a scalloped circle for the base, then layered 3 different punched papers. Some bling for the berries and a small circle Nestie with the sentiment finished it off. I outlined each holly leaf with a gold Spica pen - it adds a little more shimmer though it's hard to see in the photo. It was a gloriously warm day here in VA...am loving the upper 60's temperatures! Thanks for visiting my blog...I always love to read your comments!
