Fa-la-la-la-la

We're making music at Jingle Belles ... okay, we're not making music ... we're creating music themed cards (which just happens to be one of our favorite things).  We're asking you to create a card (or gift card holder, or whatever else you'll be needing for the holidays) that incorporates music, a musical instrument, or a holiday song title or lyrics.

When I stumble upon an Estate Sale, I always go hunting for vintage paper (cookbooks, photo albums, post cards, music, books).  Friends also know I collect things like that for card making, so sometimes I get lucky with some gifts as well.  As I was going through my stash for this week's card, I saw some that had my Great Aunt Mary's handwriting, and it made me smile (and miss her).

I started with a page of vintage sheet music ... love the torn edges and beautiful aged color ... noo need to sponge on any inks around the edges.  Using this week's Sunday Stamps Sketch, I added the Alexandra-Renke bookmark and some of her thin star tape..

 

Instead of a rectangle, I used an Alexandra-Renke Circular Die cut from neutral paper ... and instead of a bow, I used a Lawn Fawn Wooden Snowflake. 

 

I finished with several stickers from my stash inspired by all the Christmas Carols that sing about Snow or Peace.
