Today is the first day of Autumn and yet I'm doing Christmas!! The letter for the next Craft Barn Alpha Dictionary Challenge is X. There are few words to choose - Xenon is a colourless gas and I don't have a Xylophone stamp so I went with XMAS and added the Christmas definition too!
It's really too early for real Christmassy stuff so I decided to use this musical stamp from Crafty Individuals - I saw Three Ships..........please feel free to sing along!! It's just stamped on some inky blue card and mounted on a holly background. As always it's finished with the X Thicker letter and the dictionary definitions.
Thanks for coming over to visit.... I'm off to see what everyone else has been making!

I love your holly background and that was such a good idea to use the musical stamp - although yes, here I am singing along.... I don't think it is ever too early for Christmas, some shops around here had their trees up on 1 September!! It seems to get earlier each year.... Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteThis is really clever. I laughed because I don't have a Xylophone stamp, either.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and I (and a few others) are still showing the letter along with the definition. I've never seen those thicker letters, but I sure like how you use yours.
Yep, I'm singing this song and certainly can't get it out of my head, now! This is a beautiful entry.
I've joined in the sing song too! That is a great stamp, I think you can always tell a Crafty Individuals stamp. Perfect entry.
ReplyDeleteJust looked out of the window and yes there are three ships on the horizon, so I'm singing along with you! Thank you for entering the Craft Barn Alpha Challenge. Good luck in the draw xx
ReplyDeleteGreat page and I love the holly background. I jumped the gun and went for Christmas when we did C so had to have another think for this one! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I don't have a xylophone stamp either. I'm trying not to think of Xmas yet, so avoided that one.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of stamp Elaine and it's not too early for Christmas in the shops BTW!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combinations for this. The X echoes the white between the holly leaves and brings it altogether really well.
ReplyDeleteLove the holly background but the blue musical page is fabulous and perfect for Xmas.
ReplyDeleteYou're right it is too early to think of Christmas but unfortunately the stores see it differently. You've made good use of that CI stamp though.
ReplyDeleteI love that stamp and I love the holly background you have made. This is a great Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteYour entry reminded me of childhood and "Listen with Mother". This song was always sung at Christmas. A great postcard with a lovely colour palette.
