I’m sharing a
card today I made as guest DT over at Crimbo Crackers for the current bells
challenge featuring some Tim Holtz bell dies.
To make up my
card I followed the current sketch at Jingle Belles. I did add in the whole musical sentiment
element to the sketch. One, because I wanted
to make sure it was clear these were Christmas bells and not wedding bells, and
two, because I also wanted to enter the current challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown
which is for musical notation. It was
crafty serendipity (there’s been a bit of that happening in my craft room
lately, which is pretty amazing given the state of disorder it’s in!) that I had
a sentiment that was actually lyrics from the Christmas song, Silver
Bells. This came from a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps set and I stamped it over my musical notation (a Tim Holtz stamp), which
I am sure is from an entirely different song, not sure which though as I can’t
read music.
The current theme
at Crafty Friends is for things beginning with ‘b’. I’ve got no less than five b-b-bells on this
card so I am linking it up over there.
If you’d like to
come join the fun and ‘ring in the season’ with some bells over at Crimbo Crackers you have until 19 April to do so.
