Merry Monday #63 and Mojo Monday 294

Hello!  I hope you are all having a splendid evening!  I am!  I just spent my evening making cards, and it was wonderful.  This first card is for Merry Monday #63.  I really like this idea of making Christmas cards all through the year, so that in December you aren't running around in a flap trying to make 6000 cards.  There are so many more enjoyable things to do in December!  Anyway, on to the card.  The white background card stock is from a friend, the plaid paper and Merry Christmas paper are from some ornaments I made last year, the paper Dasher is on is from the missionary cards I made, the buttons were originally for a blouse that I never did make, the embossing powder from a friend, and everything else is Stampin' Up.  It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but I actually used some glitter spray over Dasher for some sparkle.

This card is for Mojo Monday 294.  My husband has a mentor at work, and his father recently died.  So this card is for him.  All paper used in this card is from Michael's, except for the white, which is still from those missionary cards.  The stamp, ink, pearls, punches, and paper piercing are all Stampin' Up, and the ribbon is from the pouch that my Tiffany wedding band came in (oooh!).  Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!  <3 JEM
