Day/Date: Friday, December 9
Time: 8:00 pm EST


Hi everyone! This is my first time hosting, and I am SO excited to be here with all of you! :)

This VSN theme, Winter Wonderland, made me think of the song "Walking in a Winter Wonderland." Christmas music definitely helps get me into the winter and Christmas spirit!

My challenge focuses on music! Create a winter or Christmas card and incorporate music. Some ideas: use a music-themed stamp, paper with music on it, or even a sentiment with a line from your favorite song.

I can't wait to see what you create!

Remember that you can't combine VSN challenges in order to be eligible for the Sparkly Silver and White Snowflake Ornament!

UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday December 12.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, DEC11VSND, when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your card in this chat thread to be sure your card is seen.

I think I'm finally stumped.... I have no paper with notes on it. No sentiment stamp with a song line on it.......... May have to come up with something printed off the computer??????

I just used "baby it's cold outside" on the snowflake challenge card.... Hmm, have to think on this one now.

Yes...if you google "music sheet" you get some cool images.....I've printed them before to use as dp!

Cute, cute sample Candace! You had the perfect paper for this challenge!

Ooo great idea, Lee!

Thanks, Toni!

I am hoping to play along with this one....I didn't get a sample made ahead of time....but I love Christmas music!!!!!

Me too! I am listening to some right now!

I love that dp! Is this where I admit how many different 6x6 dp Christmas paper packs I have????? :o :o

I actually have music paper!!! Now I just need to think what I want to pair it with!!! Your card is so cute Candace!!!

Lee, you are amazing!!! You always have a suggestion for us!!!! I learn from you all the time!!!!

Warms my heart!!

You know how they say - "this time, with feeling"??

Well I cut out the "con espressione" part of my music for that :)

TFL!

oooohhhhh how many??? inquiring minds want to know!!! LOL I bought my first 2 (one of them hidden away from DH to give me at Christmas)last week!

Me too! Country Christmas genre on Pandora! :D

Thank you for this great challenge!! I am soooo happy with the card I made!! I bought the music stamp a while back but this was my first time using it. Here's my card: Fa La La La La by Mit240z by mit240z - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

No don't! Then I might have to admit to mine ;)

ACK! I really do have to answer now, don't I?? ;) Ok.....now this is just my Christmas dp packs....I won't tell you how many other 6x6 packs I have that are not Christmas! :mrgreen: I have 14 Christmas dp packs from various companies! :D

Sorry! Stepped away for just a second and came back to all these messages! I love this VSN thing...so much fun!

That paper is Echo Park Holly Jolly. Love it! Thanks everyone for the comments on my card!!

I have christmas music on too. Along with every stuffed figure that my son can get his hands on right now. It's driving my hubby nuts :D and I am loving it!!

Thud! Seriously, can I come over and play? You, the snow and the paper are soooo enticing!

14 Christmas pads...that's what I need! I have maybe 6 or so 6x6 ones. Need more!!

You are welcome anytime! Just a warning...my house is a disaster lately.....dogs, cats, teen boy who is homeschooled, college daughter who dumps stuff off, piles of snow and mud, never-ending laundry, a stamp room just stuffed with stuff and no organization lately......but the woodstove is going and I bake and you can play with any of my stamp stuff!!!! :D :D

Oops sorry I'm late. Got busy with da buns. It's romp time here. Here's mine - I took a different approach to music. I went with how it makes you feel.

And of course, since Tim Holtz is doing his 12 tags of Christmas, I just had to play a little!

Oh my goodness. Ky, that is a gorgeous tag!!

What a sweet sweet card. Love, love, love that delightful DP in the background!!

watching Gladiator... not exactly Frosty the Snowman, but it's still such a great movie!

Thanks Candace! I love making tags, but I don't know what to do with them.

attach them to simple gift bags?

Great idea! That would mean I would have to give gifts... LOL Seems like all I do now is send virtual gift cards. I give all the cards I make to Operation Write Home.

Such a good cause! I have a whole box that I need to send.

Great Challenge - Love this one - thank you. Heres my card - DEC11VSND - Music by Stampdelicious - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Love this challenge, Candace!! Here's mine: We Wish You... DEC11VSND by sweetnsassystamps - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Hi everyone! Just getting here, and it is almost time for the next one. Might have to skip and come back! :) There are some great cards in the VSN galleries! I love them all! This is a great challenge. Will think and be back.
I have a radio station on that is playing all Christmas music until Christmas!! Love it!

Yay, I remembered I had ribbon that would work for this challenge so I didn't have to do another "baby it's cold outside" card! Instead, it's Joy to the World.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hunted and hunted through my DP and found a sheet that had musical notes on it. I printed "Joy to the World" off on cardstock off my computer. I had the ornament punches from Wish RAK. Put them all together and this is what I got:

NOT my favorite card of the night but I'd be darned if I'd be stumped!!!

I am going to keep that in mind when I need a get away. Your house sounds similar to mine with a 5 year old who doesn't pickup, a dog who won't wipe her feet, a wood stove and a hubby who works outside and won't wipe his feet!

My uploads are taking forever, but here's my contribution
