♪ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go! ♫
I know a lot of people aren’t too fond of Christmas music and Christmas in the stores prior to Thanksgiving, and I can’t say I blame them, but when it snowed here in Utah a couple weeks ago, my friend Brittney and I couldn’t resist listening to Christmas tunes as we cavorted through town shopping the day away. We also broke out into song several times! Our song of choice? ♪ Oh the weather outside is frightful . . . ♫ It snowed the entire day! It was the perfect song.
Now, the Christmas season is officially here though! ♫ Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer! ♫ Thanksgiving is over, so although there’s no need to stop the pie-making, let the Christmas cheer commence!
So in celebration I wish to share with you some festive Christmas projects! I’ll show you one simple and easy card, one cute and clever card, and one elegant and ambitious card! All of the cards you see today are from Holiday Cards & More, Vol. 7!
For the beginners or those who like to make quick & easy cards, here’s one for you:
Holly Jolly Gingham Card by Susan R. Opel on p. 68
♫ Have a holly jolly Christmas! It’s the best time of the year. ♪ Does this card inspire you? I like it quite a bit—the colors, the cute simplicity, or perhaps I’m just drawn to my own name! 
You can find the free downloadable Holly Jolly sentiment here!
For those who like to take the extra effort especially for the sake of a card that is just too cute, here’s one for you!
Gnome for the Holidays Card by JJ Bolton on p. 72
♫ For the holidays you can’t beat gnome sweet gnome ♪
Doesn’t that card just make you smile?
And for those of you who are over-the-moon about card making, I have one for you too! I applaud your dedication to the craft!
Elegant Holiday Roses Card by Betsy Veldman on p. 45
♪ Happy Holidays, happy holidays! Let the merry bells keep ringing, happy holidays to you! ♫
I hope these cards put you in the mood for the holidays. Enjoy the rest of your holiday season! ♫ It’s the holiday season, and Santa Claus is comin’ ’round . . . ♪

One of our traditions for the past few years during the holiday season is to watch “Love Actually” and though there are several tunes that figure into the story, I just love, “All I want for Christmas is you!” Happy Holidays!
