So this week we are making cards inspired by any holiday song. It might be one that evokes childhood memories ... or a more modern tune. Just let us know which holiday song inspired your design ... OR you can use Sheet Music in your card design (or both for bonus points).
Here is how we were inspired:
Stephanie says, "I started by scanning in a piece of vintage Christmas music from a beginner piano song book. I actually remember learning to play the carols from this beginner piano book. I loved being able to play songs where I could sing along. It also reminded me of how much fun I had playing the bells (xylophone) one year at the city-wide interdenominational Christmas service. I intended to sponge my music with antique linen ink, but somehow managed to grab a sponge that had previously been used with red ink ... I called it a *happy accident* and actually love the end result. I highlighted my music with Eyelet Outlet golden bell brads & a few poinsettia brads to anchor the corner. Since I was joining the Krafty Challenge at My Time to Craft, I used a kraft card base and kraft sticker sentiments to finish the design."
Lauren says, "I was inspired by this beautiful greyish/taupe sheet-music-inspired patterned paper from a Crate Paper collection several years ago. I added a diecut ornament, a couple of brads and a matching journal card from My Mind's Eye, and used mats made from patterned paper scraps in coordinating colors. Oh and I couldn't resist glamming up the hangers with some Eyelet Outlet Pearl Strips. I used the current Sketch Saturday layout, though admittedly, I've done a pretty loose interpretation."
So break-out your sheet music OR start humming your favorite holiday tune; then show us your creations. Link-up here by 6pm (EST) on Wednesday, September13th. Keyword for galleries & our JB flickr Gallery is JB:17:18.
