Santa's Holiday




This image is a digital stamp from Bugaboo called 'Tropical Santa' and was a freebie for this challenge. I coloured the Santa with Prismaclor markers and decorated the layout with designer paper, some beach accessories and a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment.  I created this card for the Tuesday  (am so far behind) challenge at Bugaboo  which is  to create a Christmas card with a non traditional image: See here  for all the details!

  7. Glenda, this is an amusing image and perfect for Christmas in July. What did we really think he was doing this month? Somehow we all have the thought that he is busy running the elfs off their feet. Great card! NancyD

  32. Such a briliant card love that Santa is buried in the sand and he has flip flops! lol must be great to get out of those boots! A really charming card and your papers and flourishes are spot on as always, a really lovely card. Vee xx

  33. Seeing santa on the beach looks a bit inside out for a European - we think it looks very unusual to celebrate Christmas in warm climate! But the card is great!
    Thanks for participating with us at Crafty Ribbons this time and don't forget to look at what there's to win on our Inpsitarion Blog during the Crafting for Gold-days!
