What a fun challenge the Double Ds have for us today! It's a music theme, as I'm sure you've already determined, but there are so many possibilities -- sheet music, musical instruments, singers and songs (be sure to tell us which song you've used) -- let your imagination have fun with it!
As always there's a prize for a random winner. Today it's a cool Spellbinders Cable Knit stencil. Creative favorites are voted on by the team.
At this point I'm taking every opportunity to get another Christmas card done, and I had all kinds of fun putting this one together. I've used a Memory Box bear, landscape, and sentiment, with an oldie music border die overhead. The music border had been cut from an inky, glossy background and set aside, forgotten, long ago. It's what determined my color scheme, and I'm all the happier for it!
You're probably familiar with the song, "Winter Wonderland". My bear might be happier on an ice floe, but she seems to be enjoying the current change of scenery. What's a winter wonderland without a little sparkle? You may not be able to see it in the photo, but I added red Stickles to the holly berries, and Diamond Stickles to the landscape.
Sometimes card making is almost too much fun!
Have a look at the fabulous inspiration the Double D team is sharing. I hope you'll sing along with us!
Have a beautiful day!

So much to love on this card Leslie!! First off, that bear is absolutely ADORABLE!! And he does look happy to be skiing along in the Winter Wonderland! The musical notes at the top and the Winter scene behind all make this card fabulous my friend. Love all the pink & red too! Hugs. :0)
Fabulous Christmas card Leslie, love the happy skiing Polar Bear and great music die-cut and choice of song.

So cute, Leslie! Love this winter scene with Mr. Polar bear happily skiing through the woods. The soft inking in the background really adds to this serene setting. Pretty pink accents and that music border is awesome! Lots of fun details with the sparkle and little birdies.
Too, too cute Leslie~ Your skiing bear looks quite happy to be drifting through the snow. I'm not quite ready for that, but I'm glad you're getting a jump on your Christmas cards. It's perfect for this challenge.
I am glad for this post and that you got to make another Christmas card for your stash. Using a piece that had been forgotten is a bonus. It was an opportunity that a wise crafter like you took and made a fun Christmas card. I adore that bear and that you had so much fun making this little piece of art.
Super super CUTE!! How fun you could incorporate a holiday card in with our music theme, clever!!
Oh so wonderful! You're clever to start sneaking in those Christmas cards! This is awesome! Love your sweet and fun polar bear, he just needs a Coke lol Love that he can ski too! :) Merry Merry!
another nice Xmas card. Love the die cut piece at the top. I think I'm going to use that idea. Have a great day
This card is wonderful. I love the soft blue on the snowy background and the tiny bit of blue on the skiing bears hat. The pink brings a lovely vibrancy and movement to the scene. I can imagine he is skiing away to his favourite Christmas song. That would be such a hard theme for me, but you have nailed it perfectly xx
This is so cute and how fun that you are doing Winter/Christmas themed cards. It is time!
This really looks like a fun project to make. Your bear is so cute and the music border is just the right touch. I've got to get started on my Christmas cards. They are not going to make themselves.
This is DEFINITELY Sophie’s inner bear coming forth! LOL! Decked out in girly pink, fun expression, and enjoying life with her momma at the lens capturing happy memories. Leslie, this is beyond darling, and so beautifully put together! It doesn’t get much sweeter than this, does it? Hugz, de
It looks to me like this bear is doing some cross country skiing in her wonderland. What a fun challenge, you rocked it! The musical notes die cut is perfect! Love the pink.
This made me smile immediately. Such a fun and festive card and I bet the sparkle IRL is amazing.
Leslie, this cross-country skier is so adorable! I think I'd better put Memory Box on my list of shops - like I need another!
I love your wonderful winter musical scene!

I just love this card! Winter Wonderland is one of the first song I learned to play on the piano and still play it every year. The musical notes is just perfect for this card and I like the pink!
This is the cutest Christmas card ever, Leslie! I love the colors! The pink ski boots are such fun! Love the background too and that sentiment!
I must say, I do like the winter wonderland you've created for that cute bear! She does seem to be enjoying herself!
Oh my gosh ... this is totally adorable, Leslie! I can just imagine you smiling the whole time you were making this card!! :) Love that sweet skiing bear, with the adorable smile on her face! :) And want could be better than pink winter finery to keep her warm and toasty while out in the snow. I love the musical notes with the singing birds perched on top that are perfectly paired with your sentiment. Now I have that song in my head! :) xx
OMG ... this is just too cute and made me smile immediately! LOVE your chosen color scheme! Well done my friend ... you are so creative!!
Oh my goodness that bear is just the cutest all decked out in their winter hat and scarf, I love the Little scene you have done with him, the music note with the birds is just too cute!
So cute, Leslie! Yes, she does seem like a very happy bear. Isn't it great to use up some long-forgotten pieces? Fabulous card.
Oh my gosh, what an adorable card. Using the pink is so unexpected, and so creative. I love your little bear, he just looks so happy skiing along. All your die cuts are amazing, and work so well together. FABULOUS.
