Jingle Bell Rock

Can you believe that Christmas is exactly a week away. My Christmas cards are mailed, most of my shopping is completed, but I still have some baking to do. There are a few challenges that I try to enter every month, and this is one of them. I just love Kenny K's images. They are so fun. I only have a few of them, so I either need to win some or buy some.

This was a freebie given out a few months ago and I had not had a chance to put a card together with him. I originally thought I would make it into a birthday card, but then I had the idea of Jingle Bell Rock..and I think it works. What do you think?

Here is the sketch I used:

And here is what I did:

• The sketch from Sweet Sketch
• Checkered paper and Rock sentiment is from DCWV - Teenage Dream Stack
• Musical paper and Jingle bell is from my stash 
• Gems are from recollections
• Black card stock for base
• Colored image with Artist's Loft pencils and Gamsol blending solution

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Ends Jan 3 - KennyK's Kraft Krew - Anything Goes
• Ends Dec 25 - Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Use Sketch
• Ends Dec 25 - Little Red Wagon - Non Traditional Christmas Colors
• Ends Jan 3 - Paper Shelter Challenge - Anything Goes
• Ends Dec 20 - Catch the Bug - Favorite Song
• Ends Dec 31 - Here come the Boys - Anything Goes

Jingle Bells

Is it too early to start singing Jingle Bells? Well not according to the local stores around here. It seems like holiday decorations go up earlier every year. It is a combination of Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas all rolled into one.

Well I guess I am as guilty as the stores, as I too have been working on Christmas cards. But I at least have an excuse. In order for me to have all my holiday HANDMADE cards finished by Christmas, I have to start early. So here is my latest design. I hope you like it.
