For me, music is a big part of our lives and we have it playing all the time, including Christmas songs! One of my all-time favorites is Noel ~ esp when song by Josh Groban ::: swoon! ::: I was blessed to see him in concert a few years ago and he's a truly gifted and amazing performer. But I digress! My card ..... I went with the song "Noel" :) I paired up the brand new, clear stamp Carrying Tree Riley with a 4.25 x 5.5 cut-out card that I found here. I printed out the template and paper-pieced the letters with a 'top coat' of paper in country hearth tones of paper. Our church has decorated this year using ferns and red gingham ribbons, raffia and real pine cones - such a heart and home-spun feel to it all and that's what I was channeling when dreaming up this card :)
Have a *musical* day! :)
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings!

Wow! What an awesome card, Kelly! Love that you were able to use a NOEL cut-out card and the papers you used are so bright and fun and cheery...Just like you! And, of course, Riley adds just the right "note" to this "song" card!;) BTW, "Noel" was my mother's favorite Christmas carol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card! I like the cut-out word "NOEL" as your base, just wonderfully creative.
ReplyDeleteWow Kelly!Love the word card idea and how adorable is Riley with the tree. Love how the tree is hanging off the edge! I love Josh Groban too, and I would be swooning if I got to see him. Lucky you! Poor hubby last year as I LOVE Donny Osmond and hubby got us tickets to Donny & Marie's Christmas show in NYC. I was over the moon and weeping thru puppy love. Poor hubby..ha ha..
