saint nick-tac-toe!!! :)

hello and welcome to my favorite post title of the entire ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ year, as devised by miss stephanie, much to my delight! because yes, we're still playing xmassy tic-tac-toe, and i will show you the board again in a minute. but first, here's my card, which i really like!

(patterned paper: studio calico, echo park, basic grey, making memories, autumn leaves; journaling label: my mind's eye; character rub-ons: imaginisce; glittery sentiment rub-on: creative imaginations; bling: recollections; ink: colorbox; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape)

ok, so 90% of the work was done by the half-packet of adorable imaginisce rub-ons i had left; a further 7% was taken care of by consulting the tic-tac-toe board below (i chose the center vertical column) and that left only 3% actual effort on my part, which mainly consisted of rubbing-on the rub-ons and choosing mats. easy peasy! here is that board again... you know... just in case you have a hankering to play along?!

ok, yeah, so neither the calendar or the thermometer is showing even the least signs of christmassy-ness yet... but december will be here before we know it, complete with a heapin' helpin' of card-making panic! so why not get a little bit ahead with us at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ eh?! we'd love to see *you* in our links list!!! ♥
