The Christmas Kickstart challenge #22

Jingle All the Way!
 
 
 
 
I printed out a few sheets of my 'hand-written' Christmas paper - you haven't seen them?  So easy - you should make your own!  I found them to be the perfect backdrop for my tiny little jingle-bell-wearing Reindeer, for Jo's Jingle all the Way Christmas Kickstart challenge!  Hope Jo likes them...

 
This paper features my letter to Santa circa 1959
 
 
Okay.  We all know that Rudolph's nose lights the way for Santa's sleigh each year.  But this little guy is hoping to see that this year HE will be chosen!!  yep. that's me rooting for the underdog - or the underdeer!

I'd better hop over and get one of these into that CKS gallery!

    What a brilliant idea to use one of your own childhood letters to Santa as a background! Perfect with the little deer! I hope Santa picks the little gray nosed deer to help him this year.

    what a fab way to personalize a card, and those reindeer are fabulous one of my fav MFT sets that I don't own.

    Once again, you've knocked me flat. Making your own handwritten background paper must have been a labor of love for you. Of course, your writing is exceptional. Mine would look like it came out of a doctor's office. It sure adds a lot to Rudolph's and Santa's look. Way to make darling cards, girl.

    WOW! So clever and fun, watch out this idea is going to be snapped up and you are going to be Wealthy beyond your wildest dreams! Love both your designs and ps this is one of my fave sets from MFT and couldn't believe they retired it so quickly, I was heart broken!

    Michele, you blow me away with your creativity. These cards are fantastic because of the letter in the background. I'm rooting for the underdeer, too! Thanks for being so fabulous and always thinking outside the box! Big crafty hugs!
