It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

You could almost hear the Christmas music playing – and maybe you were listening to some festive tunes while you Waltzed along with those who participated recently in the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz this past Thursday.  There was certainly no shortage of inspiration from images of tasty treats to frosty white snowflakes.  The fans of Waltzingmouse Stamps shared their creativity and we want to share a few of the projects that really WOW’d us. 

        

Kary really rocked this Christmas card using the Twas The Night Before Christmas as she created a beautiful scene using the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas", also known as "The Night Before Christmas" written by Clement Clarke Moore, as well as many of the other traditional images contained in this set.  She created a welcoming invitation to really “Believe” and created lovely vintage appeal from this set with her tri-fold card, complete with an open window revealing that Jolly ole Elf.  Fabulous job, Kary.

         

Rudlis fashioned some lovely wintery-white gift tags using line art from three sets; 2011 Holiday Ornaments, Dainty Doilies 2 Small and Festive Foliage.  Simple, yet festive enough to grace any holiday gift.  The line art from these sets looks striking against the white background and how nice that she created in these heart shapes. 

     

And newcomer, Kim Heggins, created this fun holiday card using Sewing Box Christmas.  Those adorable mitten are sure to warm the heart with their built-in stitching and with the addition of the twine and snowflake brads, Kim embellished her card with lots of Christmas traditions. 

All the projects were awesome, and as promised, we selected one random winner from all those who participated in the Waltz.  That lucky winner is: Renee.  Congratulations Renee and thanks so much for taking part in the November Waltz!  Please e-mail Claire at  claire.brennan1@ntlworld.com letting her know your set of choice and she will make sure that it will be on its way to you soon.

In case you didn’t get a chance to follow along the Waltz, you can get all the links to the projects right here and see for yourself why we think Waltzingmouse Stamps’ customers are truly a creative bunch.  We’re sure you will be inspired.
Just a note that there will not be a Waltz next month, as we are taking a wee break so that we can all see to those last minute details surrounding Christmas. We promise to have some details coming your way soon about the new activities beginning in 2012.
And a BIG thank you to everyone who participated and commented.  YOU are what makes these Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz events so much fun and so inspiring.
Have a great day!
