Paper Players 66

DSCF8467

Happy Sunday, everyone! Today I am the hostess for the Paper Players, and I’ve chosen a theme for you: music!

Challenge 66

You can add music to your card, or let music or a song inspire your creation—any occasion will do!

When I chose this theme a while back, I had a totally different idea for my card….I’ll bet that never happens to you, does it? LOL! Anyway, as I was using the Jolly Jingles jumbo wheel last week, making lunch sacks for my Christmas card class, it occurred to me that there were lots of Christmas lyrics in there! So I was inspired to make my weekly Christmas card using that wheel, some fabulous red Glimmer paper and a few embellishments:

PP66

This is a whopping 5 1/2” square; I needed it that big to fit everything on! It is definitely going to be a card for someone real special! Here are some closeups:

This was a lot of fun to make! And taking a tip from Ann, I used a Sharpie marker to color my rhinestones!! Cool! And here’s the inside:

    LeAnne,

    This is super gorgeous! I love that wheel and all the "jingles" on it and it is perfect for this challenge. You are so creative and every time I open my laptop and see your creations, they make me smile, and go "ooh" and "aah" at your creative genius! And you make me want to buy every thing you used! LOL

    Love and blessings, Martha

    Thanks so much for a fun theme this week LeAnne! I love music and am inspired by it every day.

    Your card is fabulous! I tend to make a lot of square cards...so, I love the design you chose here. The glimmer paper is the perfect base for all of your fun elements.

    LeAnne - Your details are just fabulous! I can't decide if I love the glimmer paper or the jingle bells the best. Such a great card for the holidays. Once can't help but sing Jingle Bells. Fantastic Card for your music inspiration.
