Merry Monday and Bo Bunny


Happy thursday - we had a Cinco de Mayo party/potluck at  work today.  Yummy - I probably should not eat for several days.  I made a new bar cookie recipe - it was a big hit - and it was so easy to do.  I will have to share someday coming up.  Stay tuned.

My card today (which has been done since Tuesday) is for the Merry Monday challenge - a new sketch every Monday to help you get your Christmas cards made - I missed last week - I was a little bummed but did get one done for this week's sketch.


I had never used this set of stamps before - it is from TPC - one color stamping - sometimes that is all you can handle when you need to make holiday cards.  No coloring - just stamping - I knew the paper I wanted to use - but unfortunately I could not find that paper - but I did find this old grouping from Bo Bunny (this probably should be an Oldie Monday post).  Love the old fashioned colors in the grouping - Worked well with the Dark Brown Colorbox Chalk Ink I stamped the sentiment and image in.  I dicut the image out with a spellbinder.  Forgive me I did stray from the sketch - I moved my stripe more to the left - not much was showing.  The image and sentiment are pop dotted.  Added a May Arts twine bow to finish the card off.

Thanks for stopping by - I need to go clean/clear - I have an 18 month old guest coming tomorrow night - so need to get things put away.  Have a good evening.
