When I saw the 12 days of Christmas song in this weeks story I knew exactly which card I could submit. But then I noticed that we were not supposed to bring anything “12 days” related. Well, this close to Christmas I thought I better not do anything to put me on the naughty list so I made another card. However, I just couldn’t resist the temptation to share my “12 days” card so here it is, inside & out. (A little naughty makes life a bit more fun, don’t you think?)
This card is my Christmas card from a couple of years ago. It is an accordion card with panels inside depicting the 12 days gifts & the sentiment says, “May all the days of Christmas bring you an abundance of love & joy”. Fully stretched out this card measures a whopping 57 inches, all on a single strip of white paper! I made 60 of these! It was a lot of work & I enlisted the help of hubby. By the end we both agreed that this project fit into the categories of “What was I thinking?” & “Never again!”.

WOW... a 57 inch card... I'm impressed! That's wider than Most TV's! LOL I really wanted to be a bit naughty too, and bring a photo of Tempered Steel (with all 12 drummers drumming) but one drummer was missing tonight.

Wow! That is one big and beautiful card! My three year old niece just informed me that on the first day of Christmas the words are: A Partridge in the pantry!
