Ok, so I kept the layout, but made it a square card ( 5 x 5). I changed colors, images, sentiment, etc. and added brads. Oh, I moved the sentiment and eliminated the flower.
I went to a stamp camp the other night with Cindy (Mothermark) and we made these tiny little santas with the three flower punch. I don't have the three flower punch, so my gears started working and I figured out how to make Santa with a small scallop punch. Now that I'm finished with him, I have ideas on how to improve on him... oh well, that will be another card... lol.
TFL!~

This is just adorable, into my favs for a future case. I love it. How lucky you are to be close to Cindy. It should be against the law to have 2 awesome stampers living close to each other!!
