A big congrats to Vicki! What a lovely gallery she has! It was hard to pick just one, but I went w/ her Santa Dear. I kept the vintage style Santa and Christmas colors and theme, but I used different images, added dp and used a different layout.
The images are new from North Coast Creations and were colored with copics. Santa was stamped w/ Memento espresso truffle and colored with copics. After die cutting, I left the die in place and sponged just a little of the desert sand ink around the inside edge. One edge on each of the red panels was cut with a Quickutz tiny scallop edge die.The sentiment was stamped on the lower left edge of the 4.25 x 5.50 ivory card using the rhubarb ink. I added a Cheery Lynn holly flourish for a little something extra.
Congrats again, Vicki, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking! The details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, I love it.... This is the Santa that I remember growing up, and I really like the way you have framed him - making his image the main focus.....but I also love the holly flourishes you have added as they really pull the image and the dp together... Thank you so much for taking the time for me, it really means so much to me.... I am still in shock, but so love all the wonderful & talented stampers here at SCS....
