I fell in love with the Santa Trio stamp by Stampendous last year, when I saw it featured on http://michellerodgers.blogspot.com/ , with full intentions of using it on my Christmas cards. Of course I didn't, but I have this year.
I sort of had some of my layout already planned, but was struggling with some of the details. I knew before purchasing my DP that I wanted the colour combination to be a bit different from the traditional green and red. The DP changed a few times going from brown, blue & green to red, blue and green. Blue and green were the key ingredients.
