  Afternoon Update:

  Have you been over to Bugaboo Stamps in the past week?   If so, did you see the September Digi Stamp Club Set?  If not, then hop on over and check it out.  I found it while browsing today and thought it was absolutely wonderful.  I know, I'm bad, but I LOVE digital images and the price is fabulous -- 20 Images fro $20.00!  WOOHOO!   In case you can't guess, I bought it and anyone else who does will also have their name entered to WIN the October Set for FREE!  Yes, for Free!!   Yaay!!!
 
  I am very pleased to be back and wanted to share my new card with you.  This card was created for Operation Write Home and several of the challenges who are sponsoring OWH cards this month.  My digital image is from Bugaboo and if you LOVE it and want to add it to your collection, you can find it HERE!

     I have had this image for about a month and already created a few different cards with this cute Santa.  He was colored with my Copics and then cut out.  I then cut out two different shapes and I  used two new Holiday themed Designer papers with Spellbinder Dies.  The Black and White paper behind Santa is the from Memory Box and is part of the Spiceberry collection that I have fell in love with earlier this week.  I bought mine from from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design, which is where I also bought the striped paper with is from Basic Grey's Jovial Set.  I used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch to create the burgundy snowflakes and the others dimensional snowflakes were 'found' in my stash and are from American Crafts.  My Holiday Hugs is a digi sentiment I created and then cut out with a Stampin' up punches.   Normally, I use ultra-fine white Glitter for white, but OWH cards can NOT contain glitter, so to add a bit of shimmer, I painted Santa's beard and hat and Hat with some Shimmerz in 'Pixie Dust' and then tops it with a fine layer of 3D Crystal Accents.  I hope you'll like him.

   I am also entering my Santa Card to the following challenges:

• Bugaboo Stamps - Operation Write Home Challenge - Holiday Theme
• Two Sister's Challenge Blog - For Operation Write Home - Christmas Cards
• Alphabet Challenge Blog - U for Unused Stash (my AC snowflakes)
• Paper Romance - Operation Write Home - Holiday or Birthday Cards

    I also want to take this time to THANK all the sponsors who are supporting this month's Birthday Bash for  'Operation Write Home' and inspiring us all to create cards for this wonderful cause.  When I send off my next package of cards, (hopefully this week), I will have sent over 100 cards to OWH and I'm really excited to have met that goal.  It's a group I totally love and I plan to continue creating cards for OWH and take part in the challenges over at the Stars and Stamps Blog!    Thanks to everyone who has sponsored the group and to all the crafters who are taking part in making extra cards this month for the 'Birthday Celebration'.  THANK YOU!!
