I know, I know so many Christmas posts but there are so many challenges out there to get a jump start on the holiday season, and I've had extra time this week and a good bunch of mojo. I really like Merry Monday challenges and this past Monday really intrigued me and I had the perfect stamp for it. I hope you don't get tired of seeing my House Mouse creations because I love making them. Right the challenge is to make a holiday card with a bag or sack on it. Oh and Crafty Hazel nut's Christmas challenge is to put a sentiment on your card. I thought of entering something old nothing new challenge at House Mouse and friends but had to go with the Anything goes section as the die I used is less than a year old, the stamp is 2009 and the rest is at least 1 year old.
This took me longer to decide what paper to use than it did to put it together.
The fur on "santa's" hat and coat is liquid pearl and the snow is done with stickles.
Finished the inside with a favourite sentiment and a scrap of patterned paper.
Thanks for visiting today and there are still more days this week to craft and more challenges to enter, so stay tuned there is always more to come.

Beautiful card:)
Aaaaw, that is so sweet. Wonderful coloring and patterned paper layering (such a struggle for me) seems to come easy to you although choosing the right ones is always difficult.
Thanks for entering your lovely crafting for CHNC challenge 283 – you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for June - I'd love to see it there too x
