"This week we're celebrating Jolly Old Saint Nicholas by creating cards that feature Santa Claus."
Especially since LAST week I had just done a Santa card. What the...? I own ZERO Santa stamps and had just cut out what I thought was my only Santa image. WAHHHHH!! Yes, please sob for me. Go ahead. I'll wait. I'll even dry your tears for you. I'm nice like that. :)
So I had to go foraging through everything I own to see what I had!! And YAY!! Tim Holtz to the rescue again!! Can I get a "WOOHOO"?! :D
Here's what I came up with this week:
Not my best work in all honesty, but I still like that instead of drawing the focus on Santa (soooo obvious!) I tried (oh, how I tried) to use Stickles & other messy stuff to get y'all to notice other nifty parts of the image, too. Lemme just say that I now I have Stickles in my hair, on my clothes & I think the kitties are now Stickles-sized, too. Ugh.
Oh, and...CORK IS FUN!! That is all. :)
Hope you're having a great week! xo

sorry 'bout that missus... i did think of it when i saw your card last week, but then I TOTALLY KNEW you'd be able to overcome that small obstacle because you are ♥YOU♥ and you are amazingly creative! and this lovely tim-based, stikle-y, glittery, FAB*U*LOUS card proves my point, doesn't it??! (note: it SO ♥DOES♥!!!) love the cork... love everything about this actually... AWESOME!
I see we are both Santa-deficient. Hmmm ...
Um, so what did you cut OUT of that piece? Yes, I noticed that part and not all the FAB-U-LOUS glittery goodness. What are friends for? :)
Great rescue = great card.
Ok, now its my turn to totally hate you!! :P Love that image and the rhinestones to match the stickles is just fantastic! I NEVER would of thought to use cork, you are so dang creative! ((goes to take Lisa off friends list---NOT!! ROFL))
I had to laugh at your Stickles comments ... a few weeks ago I went to see my physical therapist for a foot injury I'm trying to heal ... and he said "what is wrong with your foot" ... when I asked what he was talking about, he said it looked like a had a small blood blister. I looked at the bottom of my foot and saw that it was a just a black adhesive gem ... I told him I walk around with bling on me somewhere most of the time ... here's a big Woo Hoo for Tim Holtz and for you for your clutch Santa card ... thanks for always making us smile at jingle belles.
wow - your christmascards are all georgeous !- I love them!
Best wishes Ilo
