What a fun challenge Cathy has given us today--use a non-holiday stamp to make a Christmas card. I was overwhelmed until I went to check my to do list and found this sweet boy. How perfect for a letter to Santa! I did use Christmas paper for my background to turn my non-Christmas stamp into a Christmas card. I used SC245 for a fun background. My husband says the boy doesn't look like a troublemaker. I thought he looked like my Desmond. And I guess Desmond is on the nice list for the most part. Great challenge, Cathy, that was very fun!

Great Christmas papers, and a super idea to turn that boy into one writing his Christmas list.
The way he's lying on the ground makes me smile. We have a friend whose son is now an art teacher, but for many years he drew for a couple of the national papers. As a child, that was always how he drew, lying on his stomach, feet up...except he would be bouncing a football or something on his feet at the same time, totally absorbed in his drawing.

Your To Do List???? Now I am intrigued...do you have a crafty to do list like I do? Yes I have to have a crafty to do list so I can get organized, create what friends ask for when they need cards, use stuff up to clear space in my craft room and build my stash for when I need a card. That is the "small" version of my list. LOL! If you are not talking about that kind of to do list then I can see you laughing at my comment.
But seriously what a fantastic image so perfect for a letter to Santa and great layout and papers too. And I agree that sure does have a Desmond feel to the image.
