Santa Rocks!

 Morning all.  My husband wanted to know why I was colouring a Santa image at the end of February.  It's because the theme over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge is 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'.  In a bid to tidy my craft room, yet again, I am trying not to print more images and use some of the ones I've got lying in a drawer.  Would you believe I could only find one Santa.  He is a cutie though so I've gone with it.  The image is from Gerda Steiner Designs and, although I have had it for years it is still available.

I'm not sure that he's playing Jingle Bells but what ever he's playing he's rocking out to it.

Please pop over to show us your Santas.

Thanks for reading.

No Patterned Paper?!!!

Morning all.  We have a new challenge for you today over at Cardz4guyz.  And for this challenge we don't want to see any 'Patterned Paper'.  What?  No patterned paper?  But I have tonnes of the stuff. It doesn't matter that I've taken to stencilling or inking up my backgrounds.  The minute you say I can't use any that's all I can think about.  Argh!

I already had a stamp set on my desk as I was making a birthday card for my Father in Law. I decided that, as I had stamped out way more images than I eventually needed for that card, I would used up my spares for a little scene.  When I say scene I don't really mean scene.  I am useless at those types of card and other DT members can show you amazing examples of that kind of project.  My 'scene' is a lot simpler than that.

The images are from this wonderful set by Gerda Steiner.  I saw this set a while ago and really had to have it.  I think my little tableau speaks for itself.  My money, however, is on the mouse. I think he looks mischievous. The cat doesn't look very confident.

Anyway, it's your turn now.  Please pop over and play.

Thanks for reading.
