We are going to follow along the traditional "Twelve Days of Christmas" song. 

Since today is the "Twelfth Day"of our challenge event, it is the "Twelve Drummers Drumming" day, according to the classic Christmas song: Our challenge today is to be 

Inspired by a Christmas Song!  

Here's what I came up with, using this simply fantastic Angel image from Bugaboo Stamps: 

Scene It-Angels Believe.

Click Image to Enlarge

This is a 5" square card. I colored the image in PSE. :0) I printed it on a Stampin' Up Naturals paper, Ivory color. The image is embellished with some 3D White Glitter Paint (found it in the JoAnn fabric section) on the clouds, and some Stickles Star Dust glitter glue on the angel wings and stars. I have taken some liberties with the original "Believe" sentiment that Jodie includes in the image from Bugaboo Stamps, and instead have added the song title, "Hark! The herald angels sing". Cute, huh?! lol! I cut a silver music sheet paper, from Cloud9 Designs, with my Nesties for the bottom dp layer. I added an embossed gold card stock (bought it that way) on top of that, some EK Success punched stars that are cut from DCWV glitter card stock, and a music sheet of the actual song, itself. (I found a copy online, shrunk it "itty-bitty" and hand cut it out after printing it).

Now, we'd love for you to join us, so go spin some old 45's, pop in a cassette of mixed Christmas songs.....turn on the Sirius XM Christmas channel.....whatever it takes to inspire you!..... and then join us!  Head over to the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog to enter your creation, and you could WIN!

Don't forget to stop back tomorrow.......we'll have a new release for you! The 50% Sale will be continuing over at the store, as well, so don't miss it!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

Since today is the "Eleventh Day"of our challenge event, it is the "Eleven Pipers Piping" day, according to the classic Christmas song: Our challenge today is to be

I'm not exactly sure how the plaid came into play today, but I think it has something to do with classic pipers pics showing them dressed in plaid skirts?? Maybe?! lol!

Since today is the "Tenth Day"of our challenge event, it is the "Ten Lords a'Leaping" day, according to the song: Our challenge today is to be MASCULINE!  You didn't think we'd forget about the boys, did 'ya?! :0)

Here's what I came up with, using this fab, adorable penguin image from Bugaboo Stamps: Poppi Xmas Tree.

Click Image to Enlarge

I colored the image in PSE, as is my norm, lately. :0) I printed it on Confetti Cream paper, to give it a less stark-white background. The card stock that the image is layered on is embossed with Cuttlebugs Snowflakes folder. The snowflake border and snowflake are both MS Punches. I added some Stickles to the snowflake, and also to the ornaments on the images tree: not too much.....didn't want to "over-do" for the fellas. :0)

Since today is the "Seventh Day"of our challenge event, it is the "Seven Swans a'Swimming" day, according to the song: Our challenge today is a Photo Inspiration Challenge!  Here's this gorgeous swan picture to inspire you...

Pretty, isn't it?! :0)

Here's what I came up with, using this beautiful, fancy bird image from Bugaboo Stamps: 

It's called Jacobean Bird 6

Click Image to Enlarge

I colored the image in PSE. :0) I added some 3D Glitter White paint to the bird (if you enlarge the photo it's more visible). My card stock is actually white, too, but I had a tough time with the photo today - it's looking a little blue-ish, green-ish to me, here. :0( I added some Stickles to the berries. I layered the image on a Nestie, and scalloped the card edge with an EK Success punch. The embossing was done with my Cuttlebug "Just My Type" border folder. I added some glitter gel pen to the embossed image. I printed the sentiment on my card stock before folding my card base, to make it a single layer. I added some red frilly ribbon to finish it off! :0)
