This 'n' That

21 Oct

Well Mrs. Claus didn't care for the dark hair on Santa, she loves how he has grown old with her, and she wants him to be around a long time (plus a couple of the girl elves were checking him out and Mrs. Claus has a jealous streak in her) so he's letting it go back to it's regular color, she did mention that she was worried about his cholesterol and his weight and with Christmas right around the corner she suggested he go on a diet.

So he cut out the cookies, and started to drink skim milk and he dropped the pounds pretty quick, ain't that how it is?  Dang men!

Can you tell why he looks different?

While I tell you the recipe I will let you try to figure out what is different about Old Saint Nick. You can check out yesterday's card to see if it helps.

Stamp Set: Jolly Old Saint Nick, Tiny Tags

Paper: Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Watercolor paper, Woodland Walk DSP

Ink: Jetblack Stazon, Garden Green, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade

Misc: Tasteful Trim Bigz Die (for the big scallop on the bottom), Big Designer Buttons, Jewelry tag punch, Top Note Die, Paper Piercer, Perfect Polka dots embossing folder, Vintage Trinkets, Victoria Crochet Trim

Well did you figure it out?  I stamped Santa on the watercolor paper, and then I took a permanent marker and I drew his beard smaller and pointier, I added a few lines here and there for hair marks, then I cut him out and colored him.  Makes him look skinnier eh? I know Mrs. Claus is happier that he is healthier.

I got the layout from a card I seen by Cindy Haffner (thanks Cindy, it took me a bit to read your watermark on the card).

Well I hope you have been enjoying the fun I have been having with the stamp set Jolly Old Saint Nick (#121711 for wood mount or #121321 for clear mount). If you want your own set, my on-line store is open 24-7.  

Have an awesome Thursday and thanks for stopping in!

    Your Santa cards are sooo cool – don't you wish we could make ourselves (look) skinnier by drawing and cutting a picture of us like this lol? Toby is adorable with his new cut – cuter than the Wizard of Oz doggy….when I see you next I bet I can help you so he doesn't mind the camera! Our dog agility classes are good for more than running obstacle courses!!

    BTW have you seen the little heart candies at Fryes with the Twilight theme yet? There are 2 different boxes – one with Jacob's pic on it and the other with Edward – wow. I saw them in the DVD movies/music CDs section – you know with the candy for the movies boxes….Like $1 or something and really cool color names based on Twilight!

    Santa had some "grooming" of his own. You make my 14 yo dd crack up with your humor. She loves your coloring "flair," too. Can't wait for you to guest host SNL.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
