here comes santa claus...

I finally got my hands on one of these Santa Collage stamps a while back and I just love it! It really is one of best Santa image stamps I've seen. I thought it was perfect for this week's Splitcoast sketch challenge. I used my Copics (B21, E00, RV11) to color his face and then distressed it a little with my Distress Inks. I think the Stickles bottle kind of exploded all over him, but Christmas was meant to be sparklified! I used my houndstooth Scrapblock from Cornish Heritage Farms for one of the background pieces with a little Distress Ink on it as well. I mounted that on a piece of dp from Daisy D's and then mounted everything on a piece of Riding Hood Red cs run through the houndstooth Cuttlebug. Wow! I love me some houndstooth! Anyway, thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

I finally finished the whole cancer thing. My last day of radiation was just over a week ago and I feel great! I'm so glad to be done with everything. Now I can get back to my life. I haven't been making too many cards because I was out of town for treatment. Here are just a couple I did on the weekends when I was home.
This one was for Ethan's teacher. I just love this set from Kim Hughes. I just had to have it!



And this card was for my cousin and his wife for letting me stay with them while I was getting treatment. Again, another Kim Hughes set. Isn't this tree just the cutest?
