My True Love Gave to Me ...

This week we're still making holiday cards that features a numeral (like 25) or that features one of the elements from the song The 12 Days of Christmas, so break out those...

• Twelve Drummers Drumming
• Eleven Pipers Piping
• Ten Lords a Leaping
• Nine Ladies Dancing
• Eight Maids a Milking
• Seven Swans a Swimming
• Six Geese a Laying
• Five Golden Rings
• Four Calling Birds
• Three French Hens
• Two Turtle Doves
• and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

Here is how we were inspired:

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I had a sheet of these fun Crate Paper December Calendars, so I went with the numbers this week. I added several other elements from the same Crate Paper Collection on top of a coordinating Pink Paint Chip. I finished with some epoxy snowmen & dots, glittery stars, and a sentiment that makes a second reference to December 25th."

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I elected to go with numerals again, in the form of a fun date sticker and a super cute Jenni Bowlin Holiday Bingo Card in digital/printable version. I've owned the kit for yeaaaaaars and still use it constantly; my favorite part is that I can scale and print them to literally any size I need. In addition, I've got some ancient Echo Park patterned paper, various stickers, a couple of borders, twine, round brads... it's all here, in nice flat, mailable form. Gotta love that, right?"

Remember to link your cards up by Wednesday at 6pm EST for a chance to win the fun prize.

• Eight Maids a Milking
• Seven Swans a Swimming
• Six Geese a Laying
• Five Golden Rings
• Four Calling Birds

Here is how we were inspired this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I found this vintage illustration of the 12 Days of Christmas in a Christmas Ideals book, so I scanned it and resized the first six days for the front of my card ... I just love those drawings.  All I added was a sticker sentiment and a wrap of neutral ribbon on a teal card base."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I opted for the "feature numerals" version of the prompt, and I incorporated them via a fun little December calendar journaling card from Simple Stories. The calendar wound up being more covered up than I had imagined because I got very involved in framing up pretty bits of patterned paper with these ancient chipboard circle frames I found buried deeeeeeeeeeeeep in my holiday stash! I really love them, though, so I guess I'm ok with the limited view of the calendar. (Let's face it December always winds up being a bit of a blur anyway, right?)"

And we'll pick one lucky participant to win this fun little holiday giveaway (the stamp set includes the matching dies).

Link any number of amazing "12 Days of Christmas" creations right here by 6pm (EST) on Wednesday, September 11th. Keyword for galleries and Flickr is JB:19:18.
