This weeks Midnight Madness Sketch challenge is a great sketch for those of us with a busy week preparing for our Thanksgiving feast! I used an image from our sponsor this week Robyn's Fetish called Santa was here. Isn't he cute. I paper pieced him for a down home country feel on this card. He looks like the dolls I used to make back in the 90's...lol
I used a Martha Stewart punch around the page set, Spellbinders Snowflake 1, buttons, crochet thread for the bows, Martha Stewart branch punch, DCWV Country Christmas and stickles for this creation.
Thanks for stopping by. I am on a roll this week and will have some projects I will be posting soon you won't want to miss so keep checking my blog this week for some fun tutorials.

WOW! This is fantastic. You put so many elements in your cards and they all work. Mine would look like a mish-mash of clutter! Love this paper pieced Santa - you did give him a homey look. Love the trees, the PATP, the button - everything!
Happy Thanksgiving.

You did a lot of fussy-cutting here, Carol. Love the way them pop off the page. And I see you have used MS branch punch, which is on my "must have" list. I cannot find that for sale anywhere!

Wonderful work Bearzi! What a sweet Santa - great job with the paper piecing. Cute trees. Love that PATP set - you must have a couple of the MS PATP sets! The button corners are great... Hugzies to you. Keep exercising with those punchez. With holiday season upon us, it'z more important than ever! RYPH!

Another Bearzi Extraordinaire!! I love your Santa even though he never brings me anything - go figure! I love your wonderful trees, buttons and all that sparkle. Girl, this is FABULOUS! I'm with Bugzi, if I put that much on my cards, they would look so cluttered, but yours are perfectly placed every time. Trying to show off all those punchez I see!! GORGEOUS job and great take on the MM sketch this week. I hope to be able to get back to them at some point!! TFS!

Carol, this must be one of those 8 hour cards for sure. So many marvelous embellishments make that Santa and those trees come to life. Your card is filled with cold, design and all things awesome.
