I have the privilege of hosting this weeks teaparty for Jacqueline Zuhde, the loving 82 year old mum of our very own Teapotter Jeannie (Lv2grdn).
The challenge details are HERE. There are twelve things on our Twelve Days of Christmas list....I got 11 things on my card, hence my title Eleven Prancers Prancing.
Gold, silver, red and green were easy and I wrapped scraps of cardstock in real life wrapping paper to make the presents, the cardstock is hammer tone for texture.
The tree was made using Kittie's wonderful Evergreen Tree tutorial. The sentiment represents the one "extra thing" not on the list and the Stickles are my baubles. The holly is a rose leaf punch and was clipped into the shape of holly.
I discovered that I only have one Santa stamp and I must say he looked like he had one too many beers on his travels around the world. I thought I could add some texture paste to his hat and his beard in order to disguise his dodgy face. He looked worse! I said to myself, self Jeannie's mum will have nightmares if she sees this character at the bottom of the stairs, so I positioned him at the top of the stairs and almost out of sight.
I was on track to use all twelve things on the list, but sadly the bright turquoise/bluish baubles turned green as they dried. I could have fibbed and said the camera did it, but it's too close to Christmas to risk a lie!
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to join in or pop a fun Christmas card in the mail to Jacqueline.

Brilliant card Susie. I admire your patience using that punch and then fashioning it into a Christmas tree. Loved the way you wrapped the gifts and decorated the stairs with tinsel. Just another wonderful card.

Cute as ever! I wouldn't change a thing.. Poor Santa had to hide because he was ugly -- really -- Santa ugly- hee hee.
Loving everything about this wonderful creation!
