Christmas Carol!


 
I knew when I saw this cute sWhimsy  stamp that it needed to come to my house and play. Just so she wouldn't be lonely I also brought her brother to play also....oh, dear, I am so weak! I had a bit of time to just sit and play and so this is the card I came up with. I think I might have had a lace craze going on. I worked so hard to pick my papers and then I covered it up with my image and lace! I tried some new techniques with my coloring. I can tell they will take me a bit more practice before I have it down pat. I hope each of you are having a wonderful Saturday.
My Song: My Name Is Christmas Carol
I was playin Santa Claus downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of three or four climbed up onto my knee
I could tell she had a Christmas wish behind those eyes of blue
So I asked her what's your name, and what can Santa git for you?
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
I don't know who my daddy is, and mommy's gone away.
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home.
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own?
Well all I could say was "Santa will do the best he could"
And I set her down and told her "now to remember to be good"
She said I will then walked away, turned and waved goodbye
And I'm glad she wasn't close enough to see ole Santa cry.
Early Christmas morning I got up and dialed the phone
I made a few arrangements at the County Children's home
And they told me it would be alright to pick her up today
Now my little Christmas Carol won't ever have to say
My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas Day
I don't know who my daddy is, and mommy's gone away.
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home.
Does anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own?

This little image is adorable. I can well see why she had to come to your house! Your coloring is wonderful. I just could never figure out coloring with markers! Have a wonderful weekend!

I would have bought her brother too and can I say how much I love that ribbon across the corner? It looks like you gift wrapped her! Very pretty!

Another wonderful card you've created my friend. I comment on almost all your cards but they never show up. I left one on the Veterans Day card you made last & it's not showing up either. Your cards deserve to be recognized for the amazing job you do & I can't figure out why the comments don't appear. I don't have a problem with any other blog.
