Ho ho ho!

I just couldn't let another week pass without playing along at Jingle Belles!

 I had been trucking along so well with my Christmas cards, but then took a couple (or maybe three) weeks off to get some birthday/generic cards done and also, life got busy for a bit there, so time to get back in the game! I have missed my friends over at Jingle Belles, so I managed to find just enough time to put this sweet little singing Santa on a card for the current challenge which is to create cards that

incorporate music

are inspired by a holiday song or

include a holiday song title

I have incorporated music paper and embellishments and might have been inspired by the song "Santa Claus is coming to town!" I must admit that it was a bit tough to switch back into Christmas gear - the first few weeks after Christmas, I couldn't seem to switch out of Holiday gear, but here I am easing back in! Here is a shot of the inside. Quick and easy as this paper line came with these already printed up, vintage look and all!

I was also inspired by the fun sketch over at The Challenge! (see below)

I would like to share at:
The Challenge at Always Playing with Paper - a sketch

and 
Shopping Our Stash - The Earth has music - the music part is obvious on my card, but as for the earth, some believe Santa travels the entire world in just one night right?! - Ok, so I might be stretching it!

Jingle Belles - fa la la la la

If you haven't started your Holiday cards yet, you really must visit the girls over at Jingle Belles for inspiration - they just keep it coming every single week!

Thanks for stopping by!
