Christmas Card Jingle

James Taylor is serenading me with "Baby It's Cold Outside" while I finish designs for Friday's Christmas workshop.  I love cool, crisp, days with the sun shining and my craft room calling!  Went to Mistletoe Market in Jackson, MS last week for a little holiday inspiration and boy did I find it! Just finished this cardinal card tweaked from a card on Pinterest by Elizabeth P at  Seeing Ink Spots.  I didn't have all the supplies for her card so used what I had.  You may not recognize it!I'll put a supply list and design hints at the bottom of this post.

Spent the weekend pinning Christmas ideas from Pinterest and checking out my latest splurge!  I bought 2 video tutorials for Christmas card, tag, and favor ideas so I'm anxious to tweak these ladies' fabulous designs and learn new skills.  A girl's got to have skills, you know!!!  The first was from Becky Roberts at www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com , a fabulous Stampin' Up Demonstrator whose style I LOVE!  You can check out her blog and video tutorials by clicking her name above.  I made the Dixie Cup favors and Snowflake Tag box so far.  Need more time!!!

Will save the other tutorial for later after I've made something from in.  Please check out my Pinterest Board called Christmas (Lynda Falconer) for lots of card ideas.  Might save you some time if your taste is similar to mine. 


Better get back to work.  2 more projects to go for Friday's workshop and can't decide what to do first!!  I'm so grateful for all of you and this crafty life I live!  Here's a card we made at a women's fellowship group with about 12 women ages 40-90ish.  Many had never scrapped before and all their cards turned out beautifully!  It was so exciting to see how proud the ladies were of what they made!  Doesn't get much better than that!  Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
