"Vintage" Christmas


No, don't adjust your monitor!  Yes it is still only June!  I'm doing my best to keep up with Christmas cards this year and I'm happy to say I have another one to share today with a mid-century twist! :)

This card was sooo much fun to put together.  I got to use all stuff from my stash and the color palette is one that I think I will be using in my teaching space next year.  The funny part is that I HATED when my mom used to mix red and aqua/light blue/turquoise when I was a kid.  Now I think of it as a fabulous combo.  I think she'd give me what-for if she were around to see this post, probably only fair for all the harassment I gave her. ;)

So do you use Pandora?  I have 2 different channels I created for myself for Christmas music.  Yup, I'm that person who plays Christmas music all year.  I realized when I was a kid that those were the songs where I knew all the words and I would sing them to myself in the shower, when cleaning my room, or playing in my grams garden.  I do try to be nice enough to not subject others to the tunes out of season though. :)

What seasonal secrets do you have??? ;)

I'm humming Deck the Halls and wandering here with some *gasp* Christmas cheer:
Festive Friday- Vintage Christmas

  1. I love your card and all the colors you used...it just says MERRY Christmas! :0) And I agree with you about Christmas music too. My girls think I'm nuts, but I have over 1200 Christmas songs on my ipod and I listen year round! :0)

  2. I sing "Let it Snow" nearly every day without even noticing! The whole year is really just the countdown, isn't it?

    I LOVE Aqua with red - I discovered just how much this past season, and now I want it everywhere.

    Oh, and I LOVE Crate Paper.

    So I think you know how I feel about your card!! ;)

    So glad to see you playing along with us again, I loved your card, and your stories!!

  5. LOVE the colors on this! The little presents are so sweet!

    I refuse to listen to Christmas music in my house before Thanksgiving (drives my kids nuts!), but I make up for that by keeping my decorations up until mid January. The house just looks so sad during the winter months...
