I always love using up some of my paper scraps… so the Snippets Challenge is a favorite of mine. For this card, I sketched out a sentiment template that helped me to cut out the name of the jolly little Santa embellishment from my precious Christmas paper scraps.  The inside sentiment digi takes center stage, backed by the upcycled front from a box of Hobby Lobby Christmas cards, and topped by a Santa and his reindeer sticker. So fun! 

I’m entering my card  into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (This is another of my favorite challenges… as it has introduced me to many new amusement parks. This card was inspired by Santa’s Village which is now on my bucket list!)
