Joy to the World

Happy Monday morning to you. I know, I know...there is probably no such thing as a happy Monday. But hey, at least we are living and making our way through the world as best we can. I had another reminder how fragile life can be with the death of yet another close friend last week.

Today I have another card featuring  this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club sketch challenge (MFTWSC86). I used the Santa again from Inspired by Christmas. I've really used this stamp set and am hoping MFT produces another fabulous Christmas set this season. I actually emailed some time ago and suggested an "inspired by" stamp based on the Nativity. Who knows if that will happen but it never hurts to ask! I am loving the new My Mind's Eye All is Bright pad so I colored up Santa in nontraditional colors to match the subtle color tones in the paper. The pad also contains some paper with a rich red color but just chose to not use it here. Some stitching, ribbon and buttons provided the finishing touches although I am not particularly happy with the bow.
