Below is picture of the page that I created for the ABC Christmas swap that is based on the anonymous poem The ABC's of Christmas. Obviously, I made the letter "G" page for everyone and it will be incorporated into each of their books. I got to use my Cricut, my Cricut Markers, my new EK Success Snowflake Border Punch, and the Cuttlebug die that looks like a postage stamp!! Gramma T from the Cricut Message Board is hosting the swap and making the cover, back, and several pages - what a peach!
The swap pages were due on the 15th of November and everyone got them done and mailed in a day ahead of time so they are already on the way!! If you want to see pictures of all the pages, go to: http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=3160631&mpage=1 .
The ABC's of Christmas
A is for Angels
With halos so bright
Whose carols were heard
On that first Christmas Night
B is for Bells
So merrily ringing
Joy to the world
Is the message they're bringing
C is for Candles
That so brightly shine
To give a warm welcome
To your friends and mine
D is for Doorway
With garlands of green
To make Christmas merry
As far as they're seen
E is for Evergreens
With fragrance so rare
So plentiful at Christmas
Their scent fills the air
F is for Fun
The whole season long
From trimming the tree
To singing a song
G is for Greetings
A merry "hello"
With a heart full of love
For people we know
H is for Holly
With berries so red
To make into wreaths
To hang overhead
I is for Ice
On snow covered hills
Where sledding is fun
Along with the spills
J is for Jesus
The Christ child so dear
We honor his birth
On Christmas each year
K is for Kris Kringle
So merrily he stands
He is who they call Santa
In so many lands
L is for Lanterns
I am sure that their light
Helped Mary and Joseph
That first Christmas Night
M is for Mary
Her heart full of love
For her little son Jesus
Who came from above
N is for Noel
The angels did sing
To herald the birth
of Jesus, our King
O is for Ornaments
So shining and bright
With lights on the tree
To sparkle at night
P is for Packages
With ribbons so gay
All 'round the tree
For our Christmas Day
Q is for Quiet
Christmas Eve Night
With snow covered hills
Glistening so bright
R is for Reindeer
Who pull Santa's sleigh
To your house, to my house
They know the way
S is for Shepherds
Who first saw the star
Over Bethlehem's manger
And followed it far
T is for Trees
We decorate so gay
Then wait for ole Santa
To hurry our way
U is for Universe
Where Christmas brings joy
To all in the world
To each girl and each boy
V is for Visiting
Friends near and far
We travel by plane
Or by bus, or by car
W is for Wise Men
Who brought gifts so rare
And knelt down and worshiped
The child they found there
X is for X-mas
Or Christmas by full name
No matter the language
It all means the same
Y is for Yule Logs
Whose bright sparks fly high
To give a warm welcome
To friends passing by
Z is for Zeal
We show at this time
In giving to others
And loving mankind
