The Christmas card challenge theme for September this year is outdoor scenes and trees. I have Birch trees and evergreens in my old fashioned sleigh scene. Added a few Cardinals for a pop of color on this CAS card. I put my sentiment on the inside; it is taken from a set that has lyrics from well-known holiday songs and says "Dashing through the snow". Not wanting to place my sentiment over the scene, I hope I'll be allowed to use the sleigh die cut as my panel #3!
in this fun sketch. I also flipped it to allow more space for my die cut images. TFL

Awesome, Claudia! Looks great on it's side. I'm looking at your card with my sons (2 & 4) who are totally getting into Christmas songs. They both said. Look it's like Jingle Bells! Nailed it

Flipping the sketch and adding the sleigh ride die-cuts for the third panel is just perfect! Like everyone else, I really love the little red birds added to the trees as well!
