MMSC25 - Santa Dear

It's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge time once again and what a unique sketch it is! Every week I think they can't possible outdo themselves ... and then they do!! This was great fun and I knew exactly what image I wanted to use. Please check out the new Midnight Madness blinkie on my sidebar ... there's a new hop coming up that you won't want to miss!!


While visiting Joan Fricker (Joan's Gardens) this weekend ... I couldn't help but carefully checkout all things available in her adorable shop and make a few purchases!! ONE of those purchases was this sweet BoBunny (Santa Dear) clear stamp image. I just love vintage and couldn't help myself!!! I also purchased more Kaiser half pearls and the RED pearls where perfect for this creation.






Recipe for card:
Stamps: BoBunny Santa Dear
Papers: Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Red Sparkle cardstock, My Minds Eye dp, Basic Grey dp, Me & My Big Ideas dp
Inks: Versafine black
Accessories: Offray Scarlet Satin Ribbon, Red Stickles, Tombow Markers, Kaiser red half pearls, Buckle ?


Thanks so much for stopping by and your comments are always appreciated!!

    Hi Darlene - I would not have been able to resist that adorable Santa either - he is just gorgeous and I love the way you have coloured him! The ribbon and buckle that looks just like Santa's belt!! I am loving your card right down to that adorable red bling! Fabulous!! Thank you for playing along with Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I always look forward to seeing what you do next week!

    What a beautiful Christmas card! Nice, and very old fashioned looking with the colors, especially the shades of green. Thank you so much for playing with us this week at the MMSC.

    Darlene, you did an excellent job using this Bo Bunny Santa stamp. I love your card and the buckle is just perfect with it. In fact, I love everything about it!

    It was so good having you spend the weekend with us and attend the card making/scrapbooking Get Together on Saturday.

    And, thanks for all your help setting us for shipping all the Glue Gliders. I so appreciate it and so does Jon.
