No, I’m not celebrating Christmas yet — I’m just getting ready for the first Jingle Jump of 2021 in a few weeks! Strangely, I’m not even playing Christmas music as I design the six cards for August’s JJ; I usually do that to get in the spirit, and then may never completely discontinue the tunes until well into the new year. I’m weird that way!
This is not one of the Jingle Jump designs — all that coloring makes a beautiful card, but not in 10 minutes! That’s my goal for the JJ cards, and I think I nailed it this time.
My secondary goal was to use holiday products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, but I bent that rule a tiny bit. Of course, I had my Annual Catalog products much earlier than the July-December Mini Catalog and August-September Sale-A-Bration items, so that meant I got an extra early start.
Have you reserved your space at the August Jingle Jump? (Remember, if I have not received your payment, you are not yet registered!) Here’s the schedule at my home in DeKalb:
