Sally, your card is awesome! I'm working on mine. I have 2 versions, not sure which I like. I don't have any little cute Christmas graphics that don't animate. Well, I'm really sick with flu right now, so this project will take a bit longer for me. How is everyone else doing? What is our deadline for this one?

Edited to fix name to OFC name.

I love your card Dawn ,especially the message written
"Love is here, this is the music of Christmas"

Great job and thanks for sharing

That's the song Clay sang at the first JNT - 2004. I really loved that song! First time I saw Clay live in concert.

Eve, your card is BEAUTIFUL! Very nice job! Beautiful words and cute little pictures, just perfect! I love the focus on family, home, warmth.

Mine was easier than I thought when I had a week at home sick to practice with it. I thought I would not even attempt the complexity of Sally's, which is absolutely beautiful, adorable. Rather I thought, because he is so religious, why not focus on the real meaning of Christmas with some simple words (from Christmas carols) and pretty pics. First the words from "The First Noel" which was Clay's biggest Christmas hit song, then a verse from "The Music of Christmas" which Clay sang at JNT04. Because they are a very musical family, I wanted to bring music into it. Then I was stuck, I wanted a picture of musical instruments, preferably Christmassy. Couldn't find anything on the Internet. Looked around the Christmas cards I have and one was perfect so I scanned it! So there's another option, if you can't find what you want on the internet, look at what you can scan. Then I finished it with the Moravian something - blessing, benediction...... I read about it on the Clackhouse and since Clay went to the Moravian church at one time, and since this is the same benediction I heard as a child at the end of every single church service (we were Presbyterian in South Africa), I thought it was a nice way to finish the card.

So, my advice is just to think about you want to say and how to say/do it will come. Don't stress over pics or even the words too much. Maybe even put some words in your own language, and then the English version too. Hope this helps. If you're stuck on something, ask for help! I nearly had to ask for help on a couple of things.

For those of you who haven't heard "The Music of Christmas":
Here's a YouTube, though they've used pics from JNT05 not JNT04, and there's a LOT of HUGE screaming at the beginning, so be patient through that, the fans settle down and you can hear it later....
