Santa Claus is coming to town . . .

Over at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog it's 'S' is for Santa and this is the only stamp I have that vaguely resembles Santa so I really hope it counts!


This super cute Popcorn the Bear stamp was a freebie with a magazine that I recently bought - that was a great buy! It's lots of layers over at Divas By Design and, let's face it, I don't need much encouragement to go bananas with papers, cheesecloth, lace and ribbon! I can't tell you the joy I had in making this card. For once I got to use all my favourite things on one card and only stopped when there was no room to add anything else (I'm pretty sure I can hear Squirrel weeping in corner!). It does you good to go crazy once in a while.

So, the papers are the scrummy Papermania 'Home For Christmas' dps. I used lots of Kraft card and scuffed all the edges (I really ought to vac up after doing this as there is a corner of the dining room piled high with paper shavings!) The lace and cheesecloth are from WOC. The scrunchy ribbon is from Sam Poole. The grungy sentiment is LOTV and the banner is the Whimsy Stamp pennant banner die.

I'm thinking this is verging on crackers but I loved making it! That's me for today. I hope that you're having a super weekend. We have another 5 year olds playgym party tomorrow - how can my child have a better social life than me?  Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate it. Hugs, Jayne xx
