Christmas All Year 2017 - November
« on: November 01, 2017, 11:04:32 AM »
Why does it take me so long to pick a prompt?! 

Finally had to stop listening to youtube and pick one, so here it is :

Little Drummer Boy

The version linked above is rock, by for King & Country.  There are lots of others out there if this isn't your fave.

Please make a Christmas card inspired by Little Drummer Boy, or anything of your choosing and link it up here.

I look forward to seeing your cards!

Thanks for the prompt! I have not been doing well on Christmas cards that last several months!  I hope this month is the one to get them done!

Nice prompt Cindi. While it's not my most favorite Christmas song (all those rum-tum-tums), I do like the version Crosby & Bowie did way back when.
And the drummer boy was the first music box I bought my mom to begin her collection.
I'll see what I can come up with.

Had fun & want to see what else I'm prompted to create. O0

Here's the Bing Crosby and David Bowie version Daniel mentions.  Nice!

I love the pieces you made with the prompt, Daniel!

Glad you like the cards Cindi. And thanks for linking.
Looking forward to seeing how others use your prompt.
BTW. Do you know how the duet came about?
Seems Bowie flat out refused to sing Drummer Boy! So the arrangers came up with a mesh of DB with another song. Fun trivia.

I made another 'drummer' card. I didn't realize it had a drummer connection (kinda/sorta) until I remembered something about the word drummer.
What? See the answer in the gallery.

I hadn't heard peddler's referred to as drummers before but it makes some sense, with "drumming up business" and all.

Thanks for posting you Santa Drummer card, Daniel!  You are on a Christmas roll!

I guess David Bowie had the same "not a favorite" opinion of Little Drummer Boy as you!

Here is one of my Christmas cards for Nov. I combined it with Daniel's group challenge.

I tried a tech I saw Judi from Judikins stamps do at the show.  Did it a couple times, I think there is a learning curve.  Or just lots of practice!
Very messy.  You stamp the plastic, put Diamond glaze and reinkers on the whole thing and some glitter, smash it all with paper.  Let dry.  Then try and get you fingers clean!!!

This was fun and you get five cards done.  Great for those small images that I can never figure what to do with.
I saw it on. Split Coast Stampers last week or the week before.
Cut up 5 pieces of pp at the same time, take one piece from each pp and put back together.
Decorate and you got 5 cards done!  I did all reds this time.  I am going to do all green next time.
I have a ton of Christmas paper.

Nice additions April and Yankee!

These fit last month's prompt of "O Tannenbaum".  I used Daniel's challenges to Stamp in Groups and his November LTL (Less than Loved) challenge.  I made a total of 5 cards.  Slowly but surely ....

A Tangle of Tannenbaums

A Tattered Trio of Tannenbaums.

I have an idea for this month's Little Drummer Boy prompt ... we'll see if I get a chance to make it happen.

April, those are some fun interactive cards.
Thanks for showing us inside/outside and open/closed.  I bet your group enjoyed making them.
