Title: Christmas All Year 2017 - September
Post by: Iring on September 02, 2017, 12:39:05 PM
I found the coolest (in my opinion!) video while searching for this month's prompt  :smitten:

I was wondering how to incorporate Santa images in to my Christmas Carol prompt theme.  Probably aren't any church carols ... but I got this tune in my head and found the following :

It combines two of my old faves :

Greg Lake (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer), the first rock concert I ever went to and maybe the best and Ian Anderson (aka Jethro Tull)!  We saw him in concert a few times, and actually saw him just a few years ago performing here in FL.  He's still good!

... and it was filmed in a church, so it still fits my theme right?!

I hope you enjoy it.

You can use the prompt, or not, but I hope you are able to make some Christmas cards this month and link them up here!

Cindi, I enjoyed listening to that song. I have never heard it before. Here is one card I made today. It took a long time because the measurements on the video were wrong and I had to figure it out!

Here is my Father Christmas inspired card, I am not sure if this works or not...  I might want to stamp him in a few more colors and try again.

Oh yeah ... now I remember Great Gates of Kiev.  I think that is one reason I loved EL&P so much.  I grew up playing classical music in school.  Loved their synthesized version!  Haha, I just looked it up on youtube.  The synthesizer harks back to the age when computers took up an entire room.  It's huge!

Just noticed your card title too, got a big smile out of "I be-leave in Father Christmas"!  Thanks for both of your Father Christmas cards.

Nora your cards are so, so cute!

Heidi, Santa looks very cool in blue!  I like how you made your own matching papers.

I need to get busy on my own Christmas cards ... yikes, time flies.

Looking forward to seeing what Cindi's October prompt will be. I did a winter card while I had the time.
