Another Merry Monday

I love the challenges over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge blog and I love this weeks challenge!

I spent the day yesterday with my youngest daughter going from appointment to appointment. It was a long day with four hours of driving, but it was filled with good news and even a little bit of time to do some shopping for craft toys - and who doesn't love it when that happens.

I came across a label maker and refills that was marked down to 'you have to buy me' - so I did! One of the refills was red and I knew right away that I wanted to use it on this challenge.

While I was driving home, I created a card in my head, but when I got home and started creating, it went a completely different direction. The only thing that's the same is the red label.

The Joyful Christmas stamp set from Stampin' Up is one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets. I love how it looks when embossed on vellum. I just wish it showed it's true impact in the photo.

Happy Stampin'
