Challenge Playing

I am trying to get back into the challenge venue in blogland.  Today I am joining in over at Less is More #250; one layer Santa.

I just adore my $1.00 Santa from Mike's.  He just makes me smile. Since I used a sentiment from Hero Arts Holiday Sayings, I am also joining in over at A2Z Scrapbooking November, one layer Holiday.

I went on to play in Paper Players #271; CAS Christmas.

I am having fun with the Poppy Stamps Fancy Merry Christmas die.  [I can't find it to link sorry] -- It does help to make my card elegant :)


Thanks for stopping by~

I love both of your gorgeous cards and I agree, that Santa is a cutie and was a great find for you. I love the simplicity of your card. I might have to go that route for the rest of mine as well as I am getting behind again. LOL And the other one is so elegant with all that metallic look!
