Silver Bells with a Christmas Carol

Good Morning All,

I hope you are having a great weekend. Boy, it's sure getting busy. I've been trying to get some more decorating done. I just love making things for Christmas. I know I just posted a frame but I made another Christmas Wall Decor.

At One Stitch At A Time we have a new challenge #226 Anything Goes with Glitter. This wall decoration I used a digi stamp from StitchyBear Digital Stamps Outlet Store. You can find it here - Christmas Bell by HopeJacare.

I didn't place it in a frame I just adhered a design paper onto a chip board, then adhered my creation to that so it looks matted. I used TH idea-ology to tie my burlap ribbon around to hang it on the wall in my kitchen. I thought it turned out good. It came out to feel more of a Vintage looking with the silver and gold with sparkly stars which reminded me of how back in the day where Christmas stars really shined bright the Christmas Bells were Silver and Gold.
(that's in an old Christmas Song too). lol

After I finished it reminds me of the Christmas Song -

"Silver Bells"

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling

Of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells

Silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling

Hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink of bright red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch

See the kids bunch

This is Santa's big scene

And above all the bustle you'll hear

Silver bells

Silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Soon it will be Christmas Day

Here is my project -
*****My first photo is just with the burlap ribbon but I thought it needed some color so added                       colored ribbon in the bottom photos.

***Added some color to the Burlap Ribbon; I braided the red & green small ribbon

around it and then hot glued some holly on top. :D
