This is for today's TLC & CAS.
Sabrina asked for a 'Bordered Sentiment' for the TLC & Kia's CAS is Christmas in July. In today's mail was this cute set from MFT! I had to use it! I got some red in the heart on Santa's hat, so I used a SNSS border die that has these small hearts. This was fun to do & I'm glad to get a head start on Christmas cards!!
Color from my camera is evil!
Thanks for stopping by.

I love your Santa, Karen. He reminds me of one my dad made for my mother years and years ago with a blown egg-shell - he was our tree topper. Thanks for playing along and bringing back memories.
All these combined CAS/TLC cards are only reminding me that I am behind on my personal quota for July - but at least they are also inspiring me.

He is a fabulous Santa Karen ~ he looks like a wooden one that I have that was made for me a long time ago - little too! Lovely card. Thank you for joining in with today's CAS challenge.

So, so fun! Love the design, and I noticed something very interesting about your "mistake" that you covered up with the wee white heart. By putting the heart where you did, you created the magical visual triangle that focuses the eye right on the Santa and even helps direct the eye to the sentiment. Pretty darn good planning, is all I can say!
Nicely done and TFS.
