TWELVE LORD A LEAPING ...

Soooooooooooooooo sweetly done by Robin - the jingle slippers are leaping right off the card!  Again - just awesome. Visit her blog and check out the other versions of her 12 Lords a Leaping!!!

So, as I have posted the last card of the 12 card set - and when the holiday celebrations are over I will be putting my cards back in the back until next!!!  I have decided that I won't be putting it away with all the other Christmas decorations.  I am going to keep in on my bookshelf in the artroom.   I want to be able to open it up and get a smile if  I need one - anytime throughout the year.  Thanks Ladys' - I soooooo love each and every card in this collection!  Merry Christmas!

Ten Pipers Piping . . .

This one is mine.... sooooooooooo, of course, I am critical.  I wish I had used darker paper for the silhouette's of the Santa's piping.  I had fun making the ATC's though.  I used sheet music that I had received from my friend Penny for my backing - a textured card stock for the faces - good old shredded cotton balls for Santa's hat fur - acrylics, gel medium and pitt pen marker. 

Since doing this card I have met this great new jazz musician - he plays the trumpet, Etienne Charles, wish I had done trumpets!!!!  Check out his music - awesome!

If you haven't seen the earlier post ... scroll down for: 9 drummers drumming, 8 maids a milking, 7 swans swimming, 6 geese a laying, 5 GOLDEN RINGS, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree!!!

Nine Drummers drumming ...

This card was done by Sandi - I have no idea of what technique she used but would love a tutorial!  It is incredible!  Again, for tiny pieces of art - these creations are all great - I will cherish this set of 12! Check out the Little Drummer Boy with Bing and David Bowie!!!
