Hello Friends!!  Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all are having a wonderful day and week!! The weather here in Virginia has been BEAUTIFUL!! I just love fall!!!  Unfortunately I have caught a nasty cold/virus.  I lose my voice quite often, my ears are plugged as is my nose, I am hacking my brains out....all that fun stuff.  I hope it runs its course quickly!!!  It can be worse, however.....I am not complaining.  This too shall pass......

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.  Since it is September and Christmas is around the corner, I thought I would make a Christmas card.  This week's challenge is something musical.  

I had a lot of fun embossing a musical background with my Provocraft Allegra embossing folder.  The tag ornament is created with Our Daily Bread Designs Holiday Ornaments and is cut out with the Spellbinders Holiday Tags (which coordinate Perfectly with the ODBD Holiday ornaments).  The tag is outlined with a gold metallic marker.  The greenery is created with a Martha Stewart Twig punch.  The border on the horizontal panel is the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents cut in half.
