We're going Christmas caroling at Merry Monday this week. So crank up that Christmas music and get inspired!
This is one of my favorite Christmas stamps this year.
Enjoy!
This is one of my favorite Christmas stamps this year.

This image reminds me of a Christmas carol book I had as a child and it was so tattered that I didn't try to move it last time. What fun we had singing carols from that book.
Some of my fondest Christmas memories from my youth are of the times our youth choir went Christmas caroling.
I believe that Judy Garland was the first to sing this song in 1944. That was even before I was born! I remember listening to it on some of my dads old records. How we loved to play those Christmas songs.
And sing along.
Kept us busy and out of trouble.
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is looking for Christmas cards this week.
Addicted to Stamps is having a Make Your Mark week You can create ANYTHING you like, just remember to use your markers, pencils, chalks, watercolours etc. I used my markers to ink this stamp.

Bonnie, it doesn't get any prettier than this. The embossing and that wonderful stamp sends this card to the top...along with that fab bow.
Oh, I do love Christmas music. I'll have to join this challenge.
Beautiful card Bonnie-Very classy :)Love the raised letters and words-very nice,and the stitch effect detail is fabulous :)
Hugs,Nessa xx
Love the clean lines of your card Bonnie. It just might be one of my favourites too - I've certainly used it quite a lot!
Good to have you back, Bonnie! I've missed your creations--like this lovely card! I love how you made the sentiment words pop!!
Oh goody, I get to make the 1st comment on this beautiful card. Don't believe I've ever seen that EF used so beautifully as you've done here. Stunning with all the white & red trimmings. This is one beautiful card, and just FYI, I was here in '44! (just barely though!) I miss hearing all the old carols being played as we used to hear them. Christmas music is among my favorite of all (along with some of the old fashioned hymns that I don't hear any more...like Old Rugged Cross to name just one!) TFS a beauty of a card. Hugs & see ya in the Playground. We can sing (well, you sing, I'll listen!)
This is so elegant Bonnie! Love the red and white with the diagonal embossed lines. I love the sentiment as well!
Beautiful Christmas card, Bonnie! I like the traditional feel of the card. Thanks for joining us this week at ATSM!
Such a pretty card!! :)
This is a stunning "book" of Christmas carols, Bonnie! Honestly, I think this is now my new favorite card of yours! It is pristine and the design elements are perfection!! Hugs, Darnell
Totally yummy!!! SO lovely in every way! A gorgeous card for Christmas, Bonnie! LOVE IT!

LOVE this...just gorgeous! I love the old Christmas songs too. I never realized until a few years ago that many of them were from the war era...but their messages still ring true today.
Stunning card Bonnie! I love how you framed your sentiment!
Hi Bonnie. Such a beautiful and elegant card. LOVE that large sentiment and I know you've used it before ... because I ran out and bought it after seeing your card!! :)
Love your gorgeous bow and I love how you've used the different colors of ink for the sentiment and popped up some of the words - so clever! Loll xx
Beautiful card. Love the embossing.
A really elegant Christmas card! I do like the embossed background and the sweet bow over the sentiment. Thanks so much for playing along with ASM!
CAS perfection, Bonnie! I love your color scheme and that beautiful bow is perfect!
This is my favourite Christmas song, sung by Judy in the show "Meet Me in St. Louis". Love it. Your card is delightful and that bow is AMAZING! I have bow envy for sure.
Hi Bonnie
Fabulous card..... Love it.....
Hugs Sylvie xx
This is such a beautifully CAS card, I love it! And yes...I am singing along already!! :)
Yup, I'm still here Bonnie and keeping watch from afar - not for much longer, and you know what, I'll be happy to be home in my own little nest again :) It's been fabulous but there still ain't no place like home!
LOVE your card, another 'Bonnie Special', always so beautifully designed and made.
Hugs, Di xx

Such a pretty card, Bonnie! Perfect for this challenge! I love the embossed lines and your sentiment! I love singing Christmas carols!! :)
Loved your card the second I saw it--classic, gorgeous Christmas card! Some of my favorite memories are the same--youth group caroling--sometimes using a horse drawn wagon & other times just walking down the streets & always going to the nursing homes. Hope to join in this week's challenge.
This is a fabulous card, Bonnie!
Stunning!
Bonnie, your card is so elegant. Your wee red bow is so perfect and I love the wee touches of red framing the white.
LOVE this. It's just PERFECT.
Hugs

Such a great card Bonnie, the stamp is perfect!
What a pretty card Bonnie, the red and cream are so elegant together and I love the darling bow with the fabulous sentiment.
Fabulous card, Bonnie - perfect for the challenge. I still love singing Christmas songs and carols. I have friends who host a pot luck supper and carol singing evening every December - it's so much fun.
Love you stunning CAS design Bonnie, just gorgeous!
Yay, Bonnie! I'm popping back to say congratulations on being an Honorable Addict at ATSM!! It's so fun to share the stage with you!! Hugs, Darnell
