Just Us Girls #801 ~ Sleigh Rides

 

Before getting to today's card, I would like to announce the winner of my prize for our 800th challenge at Just Us Girls! A BIG thank you to everyone who played along with us. And a BIG thank you to those that stopped by my blog! 

My random winner is  #23... MAMAWCINDY!! Congratulations, please contact me via email with your mailing information.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now for our next challenge!

What a perfect WORD Carol has chosen for this week's Just Us Girls challenge! We've already had a taste of winter with a snowy start to our week. Thankfully, it didn't stick around! I did put some of that snow on today's card though! Take a look...

I popped a snowy embossed panel (SSS) onto a gray gingham covered card base. Next came this cutie patootie Santa from Lasting Impressions. GAH... I love his polka dot beard to bits! I tucked a few BPD pine sprigs behind him and finished things off with a MB sentiment tab. Something tells me the price of sleigh rides has gone up a tad though!

How does the word WINTER inspire you? I look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery!

    Your snowy background is the perfect stage for your adorable Santa, complete with a polka-dot beard. The sprigs are an eye-catching addition. A 25 cent sleigh ride would be awesome, right! Fabulous inspiration for our Winter theme.

    I am so loving that bit of grey gingham peeking about the edges. THe snowflake embossed panel holds up your focal point in a delightful way.

    Such a gorgeous card Lisa, I agree with you about the embossing folder, it looks fab but not as fabulous as those polka dots in Santa's beard lol!
