Oh, Santa


Today, Santa is strutting his new suit and saying, 'Look at my new outfit, I'm getting ready for the big day!'
I felt it was time for Santa to have some new clothes so I paper pieced his outfit and then mounted him with pop dots onto a bubble wrap background.  I am playing along with the Inspiration Challenge today at Splitcoast and the Addicted to CAS challenge: Snow.  (His beard is snowy white.)
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.  Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend.

Supplies:  stamps: Paper Smooches, Clear Stamps, Santa (dollar bin at Michaels and no name), pop dots, Memento ink
