Here Comes Santa!

The challenge this month at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' is "Here Comes Santa!"  It still feels like summer here in Phoenix, Arizona, though, and we're enjoying lots of sunshine and 100+ degree temperatures. This Bugaboo image is perfect for those of us who don't get snow and who celebrate Christmas wearing shorts and t-shirts!

I used a Sizzix hibiscus and a leaf die that I bought in (hold onto your hats) 2005 and the sentiment was done on my computer and mounted on the back of a clear acetate tag. This paper was so perfect for this image and I decided not to embellish it too much (besides adding Stickles) and lose the color and pattern.

The challenge this month is sponsored by Funky Kits.  This is a great chance to get out your Santa stamps and make a card that fits the topic of "Here Comes Santa". The design team at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' has some great cards for you to look at and perhaps inspire you!

Thanks for coming by and looking at my card, and please leave a comment so I can visit your blog!
