everybody's waitin'...

...for the man with the bag! santa claus, that is. which is why he and the rest of the north pole's residents: mrs. claus, reindeer, elves, happy polar bears (maybe even a yeti?) are the focus of our ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ fun this fortnight!

santa illustration: authentique; patterned papers: doodlebug, graphic 45; chipboard sentiment: october afternoon; bling snowflakes and swirls: eyelet outlet; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, sookwang scor-tape

this week i built a tall card around this beautiful vintage-style santa on a journal card from authentique's "jingle" collection. he didn't need much in the way of embellishment, so i contented myself with a few coordinating patterned paper mats, an ancient chipboard bauble sentiment and some eyelet outlet bling!

visit ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ to see stephanie's lovely card and link up your own santa-centric masterpiece!
