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!”.

Girl what are you thunkin', are you going to be able to go to the teapot party or are you now classified as an outcast? If you are, I'll be your friend, we'll have to devise a plan on how we can sneak you in! I'm pretty big, maybe I can sneak you in with my big overcoat. Teahee!
Vicki, I can't believe you made 60 of these beautiful cards! I'm surprised you still have a husband! He must be a real darlin'! These are gorgeous and I'm sure everyone who received one thought so too! I'm glad you shared it with us even if you are in the dog house! TFS
