WINTER WONDERLAND WEEK 8

Hi Everyone

Tonight I am going to share my creation for the Winter Wonderland challenge.

In all honesty this wasn't what I started to create. Originally I coloured an image that I had wanted to colour for quite a while and once finished I couldn't imagine it as anything but a "Congratulations on your New Job" card.

I then got on a "mini depression" because there are no "new jobs" at the moment - or next to none - and I knew I wouldn't want to post it.

Oh dear!! What would get me out of my "mini depression"? Easy .. .. .. a Christmas card!!

So Winter Wonderland to the rescue where the theme is "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

All the way through this creation I have been singing "Santa Baby" .. .. .. I have even got hubby whistling it!!!

So here is my creation:

This used:

Background paper: Pink Petticoat "Minis Dotty Snowflakes"
Image: Spiral Whisper (unfortunately the on-line shop is currently closed)
Sentiment: Penny Black 3502F "a wish"
Cuttlebug set "Ice Crystal" + "Snowflake # 2"
Promarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, brad & Josy Rose heart

So all happy again and another Christmas card done!

My new job card can wait until the up-turn in the job market!!! Phew .. .. .. hope it doesn't go brown at the edges whilst we are waiting.

Thank you for calling by and I'll catch you all again soon

Love Jules xx

    Fabulous, fun, cheery card Jules. I love Santa's sparkly beard.
    I'm glad I'm not in the job market at the moment - I hope it improves by the time I am.

    Hi Jules, Gorgeous card! Such a cute santa image and I love the sentiment.

    You are not going to believe this but all day yesterday I was singing Santa Baby as I found a sentiment stamp in my stash which says "Santa Baby" LOL!

    Put you in my Google Reader, so will keep up to speed with you. (Have you switched blogs? Thought I had you already. Hmmm. Never mind.. gotchoo now!)

    Hugs,
    Chris xx
