Count My Blessings & Be Merry

Last week I shared some suggestions for color combinations that would work wonderfully with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper, a set of Christmas-themed papers in Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog.  If you missed those combinations (along with several cards I’ve made with Be Merry Designer Series Paper), you can see that post here.  For today’s sweet-and-simple card, I decided to use one of these color combinations as my inspiration.  What fun!  Here’s my card:…

Before I share today’s project for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I want to say thank you to Kim Singdahlsen who selected my “Oh Joy” baby card from last week’s challenge as her choice for “Perfect Prince” (if you missed that card, you can see it here).  I receive so much inspiration from these online challenges, so it’s always special to be recognized by the design team members.  Thanks!
