A funny thing happened on the way to a traditional Christmas card with a Santa Claus tag.........
There is a Nutcracker Soldier in the Santa Stache set along with Santa and I decided to stamp him just for fun. He proved to be so irresistible that Santa went back in the box and the solider was colored and "tagged" before I knew it! Then the Christmas paper went back into the drawer and out came the fun yellow polka dot page from Flower Pot DSP . And somehow I remembered there was this cute little phrase in the Nuts About You hostess set and a card was born!
Have fun with tags on this week's terrific sketch from Karren at Freshly Made Sketches~!
Genius! From the polka dots to the sentiment- just perfect, Linda!! I really love how you did the polka dots!
