a little birdie told me

I did another card for the Christmas card challenge blog jinglebelles. I am so jazzed I will be ready to send out a mass amount of Christmas cards this year. Oh yeah! This week's challenge was to have a Christmas song and some inchies on the card. Here's my card. I know the song is really "O Christmas Tree", but I figured you wouldn't mind me taking a little liberty with how I spelled it. It just looked weird with just the "O".




















I made the inchies with Tim Holtz chipboard inch sized squares. The font stickers are BG, the ribbon from Michaels, and the bird is from vintage papers. I made the little trees with green cardstock, small star paper punch and stickles.



I have to admit that yesterday (Sunday), I did NOTHING. I sat and watched like 7 episodes of Lie to me on Netflix streaming. I love that show. I moved laundry along, that was it. It was nice to do nothing for a whole day, but I do want to get in 5 days of cardio in this week. I only got in 4 because of my day of nothing. :)

Hope everyone had a productive Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

Love that you made your inchies out of chipboard...I hoard that stuff and then never use it. Isn't that awful? Your bird is just divine (and I'm freaked out by birds! Seriously! Ask my friends!! They'll tell you!), but it looks so utterly perfect on your card.

Of course now you've made ME feel guilty about not going to the gym and also made me want, no....need to see what's new on Lie to Me. Love that show, too! :)

My husband always says he never minds doing laundry because it's the closest thing to sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing. An how stinkin' cute are those little triangle trees ... thanks so much for joining our Jingle Belles fun.

Love your card Gina. Colours go great together, the bird is sweet and I love the font. I have chipboard that I never use,will have to get it out again.
Don't worry about doing nothing for a day, sometimes that is exactly what we need.
