Merry Monday Challenge #9
**This is my second post for today. Please scroll down to see Emily's beautiful work!
Hello again!
I can't believe that it is the final day of being a featured designer at the Merry Monday Challenge. I'd like to say huge thank you to Lesley for inviting me and featuring Birdie Brown's images. I really enjoyed working with her sketches, and I'm sooooo glad I've done four Christmas cards for this year already!:)
For this weeks challenge, Lesley gave me a great opportunity to draw a sketch for you to try. And also, as it is the last week of the month, there is a prize!! Of course, this month's prize is provided by Birdie Brown. One lucky winner will receive three digital stamps of her choice from my Etsy shop!!
Actually, this sketch was based on a card I made last year. It was not a Christmas card, but I thought it might also give you some inspiration, so I decided to share it again.
I hope you like this weeks sketch and play along for a chance to win the prize!
Thank you for stopping by!

Digital stamp is NOT only for paper crafting!
Today's project by my customer blew me away!
Emily, the owner of the Little Texas Cuties Quilt, used Girl with a rose image for her embroidery!!
I'm not sure how she turned the image into such a beautiful work, but I'm so glad to know that my digital stamp can be used for needlework.:)
Thank you to Emily for sharing your awesome work!
It's Monday, so I'll be back later with my Merry Monday Challenge post. See you soon!
