Mele Kalikimaka

The Jingle Belles challenge http://jinglebellesrock.blogspot.com/2012/06/summer-holiday.html is to make a card using hot colors or a tropical theme. How cool is that?? We have a family friend who always sings Mele Kalikimaka at Christmas and I had just picked up some flip-flop embellishments, so I had to go with the tropical theme.

Merry Monday Challenge #24

I've been following the Merry Monday Challenges http://www.alwaysplayingwithpaper.blogspot.ca/ for a while and this week decided to give a go. So here is my card for Challenge #24, Frosty Greetings. I'm a novice card maker, just started late last year. Now I'm hooked!
 

Fa-la-la-la-la

The current Jingle Belles challenge is to incorporate Christmas music into a card. I fell in love with the name of this carol, Carol of the Birds, but wasn't sure if I had ever heard it. I found it on itunes, very Elizabethan. My first attempt, below, is pretty basic. I would like to try something more complex for my second card...but we'll see.
