Christmas Friends

Love this freebie at Beccy's Place. Just had to let the little cutie join the fun at Beccy's Place Fifth Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge for the letter "P" for Prayer.

Wanted to make a special card to send to a friend that has two little kiddos who are at the perfect age for all things Santa. Cut the window panes out of cardstock, created a mask from a sheet of transparency, and sponged brown ink around the window shape and panes. I didn't have a stamp that would work, so I created my own! Was fun to make drawings for both the front & back images of the big sister sharing the magic of Santa with her little brother. (I colored their hair to match my friends' kids… figure they'll get a kick out of that. And added a red rhinestone to Rudolph's nose. So fun!) The Santa Sleigh image is unmounted (so don't know who makes it) but the inside greeting in from SU… and the trees in the scene are from Stampscapes.

Picked up this sweet wood mount from Stamp City Rubber Stamps at a local thrift shop a short time ago. Was fun to use it for Simon Says Wednesday challenge, "Furry Friends."

The current House Mouse challenge is entitled "Frosty." For my card, I used a jaunty little felt snowman, added some black beads to make his eyes and buttons sparkle a bit, and invited sweet little HM Monica to bounce on his top hat. She happily obliged! (BTW- The festive background paper is upcycled from a McD's coffee cup. It was a little overpowering, so I added a bit of vellum so that the happy dancing could begin!)  The sentiment is from Beccy's Place digi set "Narcissus."

    Cheers,
