silent night...

Holy night. All is calm, all is bright....


I love Silent Night. It's one of my favourite Christmas carols. It's calming..it captures the Christmas spirit for me. It's just not Christmas til I hear that song...

Before I start into some of my holiday baking I thought I'd pop in for a quick post...some more of the cards I made for special people in my life...I do love requests for cards...

I must admit, I don't like 'traditional' Christmas cards...I prefer muted greens and deep reds..golds and glitter. Sheet music and creamy cardstock...

All captured in my mini wreaths...I used some fabric scraps..used my pinking shears..found the cutest mini reindeer in my stash..my mom had given them to me a couple years ago.. they come in handy here.

These cards pull a double duty..the wreath comes off and can be used as an ornament. How cool is that?

 I wanted to work in sheet music and the library pocket die(PTI) worked perfectly. Some Upsy Daisy and Prima papers fit my muted colour scheme.. I love how it all comes together.
Well, I am off to get some baking done. It's not the same being away from home this year, but I know my guy's co-workers will appreciate it.
Off to spread some holiday cheer,

in a christmas type of mood..

Yes, you read right.. I said it.. for me it's all about getting down to business and working on my Christmas card orders.. but, for now here's a little baby I am {still} working on.. And when I say working on I mean, the actual card is done, but the sentiment escapes me.

Ahh, my favourite embellishment yet again.. this time I made it out of heavier card stock (a la Papertrey Ink) and it seems to be holding up pretty well.

This *should* be the last one of these for awhile.. just had to get them out of my system, but they are SUPER easy to make and just look darling(if you ask for my humble opinion) The 'bloom' sentiment is from Inkadinkado. I edged the square with PTI's vintage touch tea dye in chamomile.
Here's the finished product. The sentiment will go in the lower right hand corner.. I used Upsy Daisy's new line 'A Walk in the Park' and took my colours from there.
I'll update with a new pic once I decide on the sentiment.
Thanks for dropping by!
