Happy Saturday! I'm back early with a challenge card! I've been working on some projects but decided I needed a fun card, just for the heck of it! Plus, I received some new SU Holiday Mini catalog pre-order items this week, so how could I not play with them a little bit?! I promise not to go crazy and start showing you Christmas things every day in August, but believe me, it would be so easy with these new Holiday Mini items!
On to the card...I used the great colors from the Play Date Color Cafe Challenge #41 as well as Jen's SFYTT from today. What a fabby sketch! This one came together very quickly! But now, time for true confessions from a lunkhead stamper...the card started out as a one-layer card with those embossed dots on it. Then, when I decided in a genius moment to sew that folded paper down with the scrunched up lace...I sewed the card shut. Yes, I really did. So remember, when sewing things down the front of your card, open it up first. Ugh! I couldn't waste it, though, so I just trimmed it down and stuck it to a new card base. Remember, boys and girls, there's always a solution for mistakes in paper-crafting!
Okay, I'm outta here. I've had stinkin' migraines the past two night and it's trying to creep back on me now, that little {insert expletive}. I hope you have a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

The embossing looks wonderful behind the Santa! Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
I saw this on SCS and knew without looking it was yours. It has that certain Angie style! I love the sewn lace on the punched out squares!
Love this. Have to case it when I get the set. All credit to the master!
Your Santa is wonderful! Love the embossed background!
I love everything about this Angie! The colors are wonderful and the lace is delicious! The bow, perfect! Great job!

Love it, even though it is Christmas! lol
Great card Angie! Love that Santa & the pretty ribbon!
Wow such a jolly, fun card with a beautiful bow. Love the button, a very cute touch. Px
hahaha, that sounds like the kind of mistake I would make!! I remember a card given to my mom as a teenager where I had spent like two hours drawing something on it only to find out that the fold was on the right side!!! I wish I had known back then to just cut the card front and stick it on another card base instead of giving it to my mom with a huge apologetic look on my fave...
I see you ordered the cute Santa set! I love his chubby smiling face! Great card, too - the polka dot background is super cute!
