Christmas Kickstart #100

Dear Jo, 
Thank you for bringing the joy of Christmas to the card-making world throughout the year... love,
Santa 
p.s. you're definitely on my 'nice' list!

I really should be playing along with you each and every challenge, Jo!  Shame on me!  But I'm thrilled to celebrate you on your 100th Christmas Kickstart Challenge!!


Santa is swinging by to celebrate you, too!


Ride 'em reindeer-boy!


One of the items I found among the goodies given to me by my cousin, were satin foil envelope liners from Anna Griffith... I used one to cut my circle from and added a satin gold hanger.  This old Santa continues to make me smile - from MFT many moons ago!  HoneyBee's Gingham Galore Holiday paper was cut with my favorite old standby cover-die from Winnie & Walter and then it was all 'tied together' with twine.

Congratulations, Jo and elf Gail for encouraging us to think Christmas all year!

Oh dear, I get busy for 2 days and then find I have missed so much! This card made me laugh out loud. It is such fun and a great idea. No time to leave a comment on everything I missed, but I have read the posts. All are just great, as usual xx

This fun guy is showing us all to accept the lighter/fun side of life, live "on the go" and sprinkle happiness everywhere -- mission accomplished, Michele! This is truly a fun, sweet card

This Santa always makes me smile and he's even more fun swinging in on a Christmas ball! The satin paper makes a very realistic ornament!

This Santa is a joy! Great way to use a circle for Jo's challenge. Love that satin foil. I intend to play along this month, too, and have something set aside. Time's a'wastin'! I just love a cute card like this!

That Santa has to be one of the best MFT sets, Michele, and how fun to see him swinging on an ornament.

Oh, Michele, what a brilliant card! I love Santa on his wrecking ball - so witty, and I really appreciate your kind words too. Thanks for joining Gail and me as we celebrate Challenge #100, Jo x
