Merry Monday #42

Where has the year gone? So hard to believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away! Almost time to start mailing out your Christmas cards...if you have yet to make yours, time to get stampin! Here is the sketch this week at Merry Monday-

I strayed a little from the original sketch....I was determined to use up the last of my Pear & Partridge Rub-ons this holiday season. My decorative shape and layer were cut with the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.

All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:
Z1686 Cricut Art Philosophy Collection
B1412 Perfect Fit-Holiday
X7162B Pear & Partridge Paper Pack
X5642 Cocoa Cardstock
X7162C Pear & Partridge Rub Ons
Z2116 Cranberry Ink
Z891 VersaMark Ink
Z821 Clear Embossing Powder
Z1471 Piercing Ruler
Z1114 Pericing Tool Kit
Fishtail Dies-MFT
Embroidery Thread-Iris

I have entered my card in the following challenges:
