Okay, I'm over red and greens for my holiday cards. I think it's time to venture into the blues, golds and silvers.
This cute Santa was sent to me by Carol, a/k/a Gingerbeary8. It sure has helped to put quick holiday cards together since I'm struggling to get mine done.
I made this into a tent topper card with Santa's hat rising just above the mat and sparkled up his beard. I used the MS snowflake border punch and from the discarded small stars, put an array of them around the mats. Added some ribbon, sparkly presents and sentiment.
Now, you only get the goodies if you are nice and not naughty like my nemesis Benzi. BTW Benzi, I'm still holding you to sending me a sewing machine for Christmas.
That's about it for now. Time to move on to more holiday cards. Thanks for taking a look.

Just popped by the gallery real quick before I head out for a morning walk and what's the first thing I see? A card by Pamzi. I haven't spent any time to speak of browsing the gallery since we left home so it's a delight indeed that your card was the first one I saw in the recent uploads! Love your card my friend - and you know I'm the nice one on your list, not the naughty one. I see you are still exercising with your punches. Good for you. I am having extreme difficulty trying to accept that Christmas is just over a month away - all this sunshine and warm weather has my poor brain a bit befuddled. Christmas carols playing while I'm still in shorts and sandals - it does not compute! Hoping the mood strikes me soon or I'll be sending photo cards this year! Hugs my friend!

Gosh if Benz won't send you a sewing machine for Christmas then I will. I saw two sewing machines in good condition at goodwill for $6.99. One was a Brother and one a Singer-if I already didn't have three I would have gotten at least one...lol Your card is so cute with that Santa and presents. Would you please define "naughty"? lol I could go either way naughty or nice, Love your card. Always fun to see you in the gallery!

Pam,
Such a beautiful card - love that Santa and the pretty presents below - someone will be doing a happy dance on receipt of this lovely Christmas card! By the way, weren't you waiting last year for the sewing machine from Benz?!

Oh my gosh, I want this card, too. Love your tent topper with Santa. It's waaaaaaay adorable. What? Well, I see I've been talked about...and in no good way by none other than Debzi. Carol, don't send Pamzi that sewing machine. She would never learn to operate it. Ask me how I know. :rolleyes: LOL
Love your card, Pamzi....have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
