Jingle all the way...

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned: it has been eleven days since my last post.  Guess you didn't even notice I was gone.
 
Well I have been a wee bit busy (still decorating...) preparing for & teaching a Christmas card class in the village hall.  It was worth the hard work though, we had a very creative morning.  And it inspired me in all sorts of ways  too.

Dies: Parker Alphabet (Memory Box); Snowflake (Marianne Dies)
Paper: Tesco kids glitter paper
Font: Stars from their eyes
Bell: Paperchase
Now I've finally got some time to sit down & work through some of my ideas.  Hurray.  I embossed the snowflakes using my Cuttlebug & an embossing mat, & dotted some stickles around, but I can't see them in the photo. The sentiment was done on the computer, & the jingle stuck on afterwards.

  1. LOVE! The red glitter, the twine and the bell (and the embossed snowflakes!) - everything works perfectly together. Ah how I miss Tesco (I used to shop there when I lived in London, many (MANY) years ago!). We certainly do not find glitter paper at our grocery stores in Canada!

  19. What a neat idea to use randomly placed embossing. I hope to remember that because I like the effect. It's a lovely card - the sparkly 'jingle' is perfect, especially with the bell adde.
