4CCC-146 {Paper Pleating} & Merry Monday #66 & CQC193

Welcome back! It's been a crazy week around here and until school's over, it's only going to get crazier. Thankfully, I have a fabulous craft room I can retreat to when it's time for some "me" time. :)

This week, your hostess-extraordinaire over at the 4 Crafty Chicks' Challenge is none other than yours truly and I've thrown out a technique challenge - Paper Pleating.  It's not something I use very often on my cards but I sure love how it looks on a card.

I know what you're all going to say when you see my card...and I get it, really...I do.  But just think, if we all made just ONE Christmas card a week, we'd have 52 ready to go for the next year without the crazy "Oh-my-gosh-how-am-I-going-to-get-all-my-cards-done" mad scramble on November 1st...right?  You're welcome. :)

For my card, I used a lovely TAWS mini set, Holiday Sparkles, for the sentiment and combined this week's Merry Monday sketch with the Colour Q combo.  I know the CQ combo looks very tropical but try and tell me it doesn't work for a Christmas card too:

So there you have it - another Thursday, another 4CCC to play along with.  Are you going to join us?  I hope you will.  That's it for me - enjoy your Father's Day weekend!
