i’m playing along with the jingle belles who are using this inspiration photo for their prompt:
the colour combination is not one i would’ve thought to use, but it grew on me and now i really like it; the snowman even has aqua stickles on his buttons. my intention was to make a couple of cards incorporating some of the cookie designs; somehow i ended up using them all on one card and i added snow dots all over. my brand new camera battery gave out for the third time, so i’ve taken this photo with my iPad – not bad, but not the sharpest.
thanks for popping by.

Such a nice layout – and I just love that Santa and reindeer die… which one is that? My first thoughts about the color combo were somewhere along your lines and it might not turn out to be my favorite but I did enjoy making the card. Thanks for your kind comment!
hi barbara, the die is Marianne Design Eline’s Santa & Sleigh COL1340.
Those cookies look fantastic and so does your delightful Christmas card!

How sweet and such a perfect rendition of the photo. Love the santa that looks exactly like what’s in the photo. Such a sweet card, Ms. Linda.
ok, i had to laugh that you *thought* you were assembling the bits for a few cards and used EVERYTHING on this one… i do that A LOT, actually!!! :) :) :) and for that matter, you’ve made every single element look PERFECT as both a fabulous card AND a really great take on the inspo pic, too! thanks for joining our “cookies 4 santa” fun at JINGLE BELLES, you’ve done it brilliantly! ♥
How cute, Linda … that wrapped up little snowman is adorable … and I love the red and aqua colour combo … fabulous! Thanks so much for your visit and sweet words! Anita :)
