Christmas Card Club "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

Good morning all.

It's time once again for our little Christmas Card Club to show our wares...it was my turn to set the  theme of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".
Here is my make:


Using my favourite Father Christmas image from Joanna Sheen's Vintage Christmas CD. Papers are from DoCrafts. Mat dies are all from Spellbinders, reindeer from Tattered Lace and snowflake was a magazine freebie. Border punch from Tonic. Sentiment from LOTV. Finished with a few gems from my stash.


I've used virtually the same layout as my last CCC card and that's another special to add to the pile.

You'll find a list of the girls in my sidebar if you'd like to see their interpretation of my theme.

Challenges entered:
CHNC Extra - anything Christmas goes
ABC Christmas - Q for quantum leap (d for die cuts)
A Snowflakes Promise - anything goes
Christmas Cards all Year Round - snowflakes
Winter Wonderland - Carol's or songs (Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes

    Hi Carol. Love your card and I nearly used this image on my card. I tend to forget my CD rims, but I do use Vintage Christmas quite a lot. Thankyou for giving us a great challenge. Enjoy your Day. Hugs Rita xxxx

    A wonderful vintage Father Christmas, and so pretty the way you've used the dies to enhance the image. Love the sepia tones (lovely gingham too), combined with those lovely dies that make this one so beautiful. Thanks for a fun challenge. TFS & Hugs

    I of course adore this because I am a gingham nut! I could make every card with gingham! Jokes aside, this is gorgeous, I too love that Father Christmas and I love the whole sepia look. Michelle x
