Thanks for hosting the Teapot Party this week CarrolAnn! I loved your story and got stuck on the part where Santa was calling out for Dasher. Well, that rascal was hiding in the forest since he wasn't feeling up to the annual schlep around the globe.
I was inspired by a card on the Martha Stewart website, changing it with stamps, glitter, sentiment, and colors. All supplies used were Stampin' Up except for mini pearls and cranberry texture paint for berries.

So glad Dasher decided to hide or otherwise we wouldn't have seen this beautiful card. That reindeer certainly picked a peaceful place to hide. Maybe the tea party group could take a walk through this part of the forest. The cranberry texture is the perfect embellishment.

Way to use that Lovely As a Tree image on this GORGEOUS card, Joanne! I love all the glitter and sparkly snow!
Speaking of snow.....I hear Bertie is workin' on organizing a snowball fight later on.....stay tuned....(you might want to protect your beautiful card from her).
