Meljen's Designs Challenge #38-Sweet Like Candy (or Cookies)

Can you believe Christmas Eve is one week from today? Are you ready? I'm not.... I just got most of my Christmas cards mailed and finished shopping. I still have to do all the wrapping and entertaining on both the 24th and 25th. I am looking forward to the week I took off work - fun with friends, sleeping late (if my daughter lets me), crafting, catching up blog surfing & commenting, and just some plain R&R. I hope you get a chance to take a breather and relax over the holidays.

I have a new Meljen's Design project to share with you. It fits with the new Meljen's Design challenge theme of "Sweet Like Candy (or Cookies)".

I used the Little Heart Gingerbread from Meljen's Designs new release.



Did you notice that I used one of the Martha Stewart doilies that I was looking for? A blogging friend and follow SS DT member, Chris, sent me some. I was so excited to get them. Now I am walking that line between wanting to use them on everything and hoarding them.

I hope you will get a chance to join in the Meljen's Designs Sweet Like Candy (or Cookies) challenge for your chance to win some Meljen's Designs digital images.


Oops, I almost forgot. You can get a free Meljen's Designs Christmas coloring page HERE. My daughter loves it!


Have a great week end!

Supplies:


  • Stamps: Little Heart Gingerbread from Meljen's Designs & Christmas Sentiments from Raindrop Echo Designs (both available on Whimsy Stamps )
