I collect Santas, as you can see in my photo. I have almost 200 of them. The ones in this curio cabinet I keep out all year long.
This is also for the QFTD challenge. Grace...Congratulations, GF!!! You are very deserving of this sweet honor! Enjoy wearing your crown!!!! Here is your card that I chose to CASE: Never Be Afraid GN by scrappigramma2 at Splitcoaststampers I love the layout and love the senti with your stamped image! Beautiful card!
I used DCWV dp for the base and center panel. The Santa is colored with SU! markers. His sign says: Will work for cookies. I cut him out with a nestie.
What do you think?

Lesley girl, I can definitely tell you love Santas! Your collection is most impressive. How sweet and creative to craft such a darling card and place it in the midst of your collection. Sweet card, BTW.

Oh, Kookzi, what a great Santa collection. Me and Santa don't getz along too wellz az he kept forgetting to come by me houze and leave me lotz and lotz of prezzies!! Was it something I did???? You know I was a perfect angel and still am. Maybe he got me mixed up with Benzi as she was the "naughty one" and she got all my gifts. I bet she's still getting punches from Santa too that are really meant for me . . . UGGGHHH!!! But, seriously, your collection is adorable and your card is magnifico. If I would have made an Christmas card, Anne Ryan would be giving me such a hard time. It's great to get cards done during the year so there's not so much during the holiday season. I'm still trying to get more done here too!! Great job honoring Grace as our QFTD!! TFS!
