the blues are still blue*...

...but what the blues are definitely NOT doing this fortnight is appearing on holiday cards at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ because we've "banish(ed) the holiday blues"! here's what i made this week, you can see it has no blue. it does have a lot of neutral tones, much like last week's card, but that is just sort of a coincidence, they weren't made at the same time or anything:

journal card and tan geometric paper: pion design; gold transparency scrap: hambly; cardstock border strips: my mind's eye; patterned paper: craft and you design; florals: petaloo; leaf: prima; german scrap: from my stash; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine

i used a pre-made journal card for a centerpiece, and it just so happened that it went really nicely with cream and gold and white, so that's what i composed my background from. this week's sketch saturday sketch (#413) was very helpful in terms of placement:


stephanie has made a lovely card and the totally blues-free readers' gallery is looking pretty stellar as well, but don't take my word for it, why not verify these facts at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥?!

*for the record-- or perhaps the mp3 download-- "the blues are still blue" is the title of my favorite belle and sebastian song. just thought i'd share that with you. :)
