Santa's Day Off!!

 Hi friends!

If you ever wondered what Santa does in his free time,

I'm pretty sure it's this!

Karaoke!

 

Tee hee!

I just love this card :)

I love making cards just for the fun of it - 

being inspired just by being silly!

 

Santa is from Jingle all the way from MFT Stamps

and probably one of my favorite Santa stamps.

For this card, I used my Ranger distress oxide ink in black soot,

masked off a section to leave unmarked to resemble a spotlight

and blended and blended until it was finished.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed WOW white embossing powder

on red cardstock and created the funny song he's singing,

popped him up on foam for dimension and that's it!

Super fun, super cute!
He was actually part of a series I had planned to make ...
but like most of my best laid plans, I never have the time!
You may - or may not - see another one or four before Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

December's on its way!

Happy Fri-Yay, friends!

Tomorrow is December -one of the best months in the year ♥

And, in our family, also one of the busiest!

It's the holidays AND our 3 daughters all have a birthday in December ...

good times!

(and good tidings we bring! Hee hee!)

Today was my final coloring for The Daily Marker 30 Day.

Hard to believe a month of coloring has gone by.

It's always a joyous month to enrich our creative side and color!

And, for me, it gives me a chance to look for the stamp sets that

haven't had a chance to 'play!'

 

Today's card is one of those 'yay for play' cards!

I've used 2 My Favorite Things stamp sets ~

Jingle all the way and Deck the Howls ♥ 

Santa is checking his list ...

and he's checking to see if you've been naughty I'm SURE we are all on it!

I was last year!

See!

↓

I hope I'm on it again this year! :)

For my card base, I used the striped paper as a base ~

and a glittery circle pattern to bring out the holiday look.

I used a sentiment from Deck the Howls as well

to match the Santa and the sweet pup ♥

This card really makes me want to make all my Christmas cards tonight!

I colored a bunch of the images today from both sets ...

looks like the weekend plans are made :)

I'll add this to Kathy's link up on her amazing blog here!
