Christmas Eve Ride
Can you believe it's almost Christmas? Santa rides tonight! When I was young we'd visit my Grandmother every Christmas Eve. I remember the the news coming on and the announcer telling us that Santa was spotted in our area. I'd look out the car window searching the starry sky for just a glimpse! Is anything more magical?
The background is a simple distress ink panel. I added a snow Stitched Hill with a stamped sentiment to the bottom half of the card. Tree Trunks are tucked in behind the hill and layered yellow circle die cuts are tucked under the tree trunks. Stanta's Sleigh is cut from black card stock to create a silhouette as he flies across the moon.
The Poppystamps die cut houses are easy to assemble. They all come in three layers. The bottom layer I cut from yellow to create a glow of light coming from inside the homes. The next layer is the curtain color. Lastly the exterior house color is stacked on top. There are accent pieces included to embellish the houses with colorful roofs and chimneys.
I added some glossy accents sprinkled with ultra fine crystal glitter to look like paths leading from the homes. I love adding little details to scenes to help bring them to life.
Wishes from me to you for a wonderful Christmas!

This is SO CUTE & COLORFUL, Jeanne! PERFECT! ;)
Delightful! I believe ....do u?
Hi Jeanne, This card is wonderful and so apt for today's Santa Journey.
I remember, and I've just said to my hubby, that as a child I would sit for ages at the bottom of my bed looking through the window for Santa, I would sit there for absolutely ages and fall asleep whilst watching, I would 'miss' him every single year. It is a 'magical' time for children especially.
I would like to wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas and I hope that the New Year will be kind to you.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Happy Christmas, Jeanne! Truly a magical time!
