Happy Friday!
I haven't played Merry Monday is so long, I think it is safe to say that I did not keep my New Year's resolution to make a Christmas card every week. I did however, use some NBUS products. The Femme Frames from Mama Elephant that I finally got and my new Waffle Flower Crafts A Homemade Christmas stamps. The theme this week at Merry Monday is to make a card that has a present on it. I tucked a tiny little red present under the tree.
I am also playing along with Darnell's new NBUS Challenge #2!
I also wanted to share a few photos of my nephew whose team won the gold last week at the Canadian Nationals in kayaking. Chris has been training for the Olympics since he was a young teenager, seven days a week, he went to London as a reserve at the Olympics last year. He trains hard and is still working hard at his University credits. He is the nicest young man, I am so very proud of him!
He is the one on the left.

You forgot to mention how darn good looking your nephew is, Tracey! Goodness, all those young men look like movie stars! You are a proud Aunt, and rightly so. Thank you for sharing!
And thank you for playing in my second NBUS challenge with this pretty present card for Christmas! One of the drawbacks about the challenge is that often the NBUS of the participants then becomes my NBUS because I want it, too! That's how I feel about that terrific scalloped Femme Frames!! I want it!! Hugs, Darnell
I love that red scalloped border that matches the tiny present. Congratulations to Chris on his athletic accomplishments.

How exciting for your nephew! I cannot even imagine the work and dedication he has put in to be so successful. Loving all of your cards and projects lately..especially loved the PC Library tag, card, envelope trio. What a fabulous technique and I love how you showed how you worked backward. Definitely want to try that out. You never cease to amaze me!
Such a sweet card, Tracey ... love how the gift is nestled under the tree! Congratulations to your nephew and team ... what an achievement ... and what continuing dedication, not surprising you're so proud! Anita :)
