Merry Monday Challenge #11

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!  This has been a crazy week for me and I haven't had as much time to play as I would have liked. Real life got in the way of my stamping obession - LOL.  But... I did want to make sure to particpate again in the Merry Monday Challenge #11 based on the sketch by Lesley at Always Playing with Paper.  Looking at the colors I chose, I think I really had spring rather than Christmas on my brain.  I showed it to  my daughter who said "Ummm those are really different colors - they don't really say Christmas to me".  Oh the nerve of her! Doesn't she know she is supposed to say "Wow - that's great Mom"?  Ha Ha.   I agree it isn't exactly traditional Christmas colors but I did like how it turned out.  Hope you do too and that I've inspired you to "think outside your box a bit" :o)  Thanks for stopping by!
