Jingle Bells

Happy December!!  Yikes, how can it be here already?!  New month = new challenge on the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog.  This challenge is perfect for this time of year AND making up the last of those Christmas cards, because the challenge is: "Season's Greetings".
  Our sponsor for the month is DRS Designs.

I used two of their fabulous stamps to create my card:
And can I say that I LOVE this card??!  It turned out so beautiful, if I may say so myself. : )  The sentiment was cut out with a rectangle die and matted with some torn mulberry paper; I just love the softness this adds to the card.  The bells were colored and then fussy cut.  I will definitely be using this image again; it is so beautiful!  Some patterned paper and some gorgeous satin ribbon from The Stamps of Life finish everything off perfectly!
I hope you will play along with us this month.  If you are like me, you probably still have a bunch of Christmas cards that need to be made; why not play along and get a chance to win a fabulous prize, too!  Thanks for stopping by.  Make sure you hop over to the Love To Scrap Challenge Blog for all the details and to see what the rest of the team created for this challenge.
