CAS CHRISTMAS IN JULY WITH SANTA!!

WELCOME TO OUR JULY CAS CHRISTMAS!!

Barb is our hostess looking for a Santa on our Christmas card!

This stamp was given to me by my friend Darnell it is a Andrea Jayne Evans (DOCRAFTS) Jolly Santa ~ Chimney stamp.  I had fun coloring it and bringing him to life!!  LOL

CAS Christmas Card November Challenge ~ Santa

I am back to remind you that there is still time to play along with us at CAS Christmas Card challenge.  Christine is still looking for more Santa's on our Christmas cards!

Here I pulled out an older favorite from Clearly Besotted called Santa Baby.  The images are fairly small, but I thought sponging on a nice brick background would be a nice way to add Santa and his gifts in a clean and simple one layer card (actually Santa and the gifts are die cut and adhered on top).

The stencil is MFT small brick.

I am looking forward to seeing your cards in the gallery!
Go HERE to play along and see what the team has for you!

Merry Monday ~ SANTA

A NBUS stamp from my BFF at Christmas:

A cute Avery Elle stamp set called: North Pole...it has three hats with different words attached, like ho ho ho and jolly...Fun, huh?  My background paper is from PTI tinsel and tags.

I am entering this in the Merry Monday Challenge which is SANTA!

 

I had a wonderful time in the Santa Clara area this weekend.  I was able to spend it with my older daughter and we watched her older daughter play volleyball at the Santa Clara convention center.

We had time to roam and see some sites.  Friday we went to Santa Cruz, ate on the boardwalk and about 3:30 decided we better get to the rides before we head north to our hotel in Union City.

Well, guess what?  All the rides were closed by then!!  That's okay because we loved the sun and the beach and the walking did us good.

Saturday, Dina and I headed to Sunnyvale to a Crafter's Mercantile which was fun and yes I did a "little" shopping...didn't break the bank though!  Then on Sunday we went to Santana Row in San Jose, we loved the shopping and the restaurants, and especially the weather!
It was a very fun three day weekend...Ellie's team did well, they came in 5th in the 14 and under division.  And Dina and I love spending one on one time with each other!



Merry Monday ~ SANTA # 81

Edited to Add, sorry folks, just went to link up and the collection is closed!

 

I am just coming in under the wire on this card...it has been a crazy couple of weeks.  We lost two beautiful, faith filled, loving women from pancreatic cancer this week.  One was 72, but the other was 52!  I have been making sympathy cards like crazy and finishing up two prayer shawls to give to the families...so sad.  This week is the funeral, so it will be even sadder to say good-bye.

On a happier note...I inked up this cute Santa from Tremendous Treats:  Christmas and decided to add him to the die cut from PTI and stamped a few of the houses from Holiday Home.  I can just see this Santa bouncing from one chimney top to another can't you?

Thanks for taking a look!
