I broke out my Christmas songs playlist this week and have been listening to it every day. My daughter has also been practicing a couple Christmas songs the piano. She is going to play 2 songs during the Christmas program at school and is really excited about it.
This week Melissa is releasing a new set of digital images based on Christmas carols. I used “Jingle Bells” because the song has been running through my head. I also wanted to tie some bells on my card but decided to leave them off so that my card would still be easily mailed.
Here is a look at the complete new release which will be in the Meljen’s Designs store today.
The new challenge coordinates perfectly with the new digis. This week we are asking you to be inspired by a Christmas song. How fun is that? Check the Meljen’s Designs blog for the rules and to link up your project.
While you are at the Meljen’s Designs blog, you might want to check out the projects from our new DT members. This is their first project as teamies and I know they would love for you to stop by their blogs and leave a comment.
I hope your holiday preparations are going smoothly. Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
