Santa Claus is coming to town



Hello and I hope this week will be a good one for you. I can hardly believe that it is time for another challenge at 


and this challenge marks our twelfth, we have been creating cute Christmasness or Christmas cuteness (!!) for a whole year...how did that happen?

Anyway it won't be long until the fella in red will be visiting so this time the theme is

Santa Claus is coming to town.🎅 

Now, I tend to steer clear of Father Christmas images and stamps as I find some of them a bit creepy looking. However, I found a lovely decoupage sheet from Craft Creations that I just had to use and then remembered that I had bought a cute Father Christmas stamp and die from Swedish House Crafts, so I have two cards to share!!



I wanted the stamp to tell the story on this one so kept it quite plain. The sweet paper is from Doodlebug Designs Milk and Cookies...so cute.


I love the idea of Father Christmas ice skating!! The Crafters Companion embossing folder made for a perfect back drop and the sentiment is, of course, a much used Christmas stamp set from  LOTV.

It would be lovely to see you and your Santa creations so hope you will have a minute or two to join us.

Well, that's me for today but I will be back later in the week, so see you then xx

Some challenges
