Waltzingmouse Bedtime Story #4 - Christmas Bells

Oh what a fun Birthday Party Blog Hop for me yesterday.  It was like a big hug when I absolutely needed it.   My dad had his knee replacement surgery on 11-11 and had to be readmitted for an infection.  Thanks so much for all your well wishes and prayers!  My dad is looking better and his mood has even improved since Friday when he was readmitted to the hospital.

Did you have fun at the Waltzingmouse Pajama Party?  I almost didn't make it!  I had only minutes to spare.  I started making the rounds and having a peek at the designs and am just blown away with all the creative projects and unique ways the stamps were put to use!  Well there is no reason for the fun to stop just yet! Claire was kind enough to leave us with a Bedtime Story Sketch, and there's still time to link up your design.   So if you are a procrastinator like me you can still get in on the action and maybe win some prizes.  Here's the sketch.  

Looks a little tricky doesn't it?  Well remember the circles don't have to be circles, they can be just about anything you want.  For the sentiment circle I used a pretty label , and for the other two circles some of the Folk Art Christmas Additions Bells!  They are so easy to stamp and look wonderful in every color imaginable!

I hope you will join us!  You can get all the details, and see all those pretty creations I talked about linked up here!  Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

Love that you used the two kinds of paper down the center...great touch and I always love your purple and red holiday combinations. I remember you making a tag with that combination once and it had me thinking of purple in a whole new way!
