Sleigh Bells Ring

Christmas is coming on fast!  For the wee ones it is not fast enough and for us much bigger ones it is coming on strong!  Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my very first posting and now we are on to number two.  Another fun challenge from Candy and her crew.  I didn't think I really fit in at first cause I can't make a pretty card to save my life.  And I must tell you that I even took a card making class from Jacque Beddingfield!!!!   My inspiration for this card came from Sharon Caudle.  Last year she  made a  Christmas card  that cracked me up -- it had Chilly Tilda sitting on that beautiful Sleigh.  Then after visiting Darelle Foster's blog  I saw that sleigh again filled with presents.  So -  off I went with my mind running amuck  with craziness!  That's my form of pretty.  I hope this card puts a smile on your face and a chuckle in your heart.
 Let the games begin!!!!   Sandy

I love your sense of humour, I did have a chuckle. The moose is priceless, I think I might try to call him and see if I can arrange a sleigh ride. Of course one of those presents is for me, right? You chose the perfect Tilda for inside, even she is chuckling. Did you really have the sentiment stamps or did you do it on the computer? I am still smiling as I type this. Everything about your card is absolutely fabulous!
hugs, Diana

How ADORABLE! I love the fluff on Chilly Tilda (poor baby...throw a blanket over her!)...and I loooove how you cut out Tilda to frame her on the inside. And what did you use on the trees to look like ice?

Oops! Forgot to add: have a super duper fun time with all those kiddos!!!!

Oh Sandy, it is so nice to have a chuckle first thing in the morning. Your card is simply adorable. I love the sleigh with Tilda on and all the gold glitter. As for that Moose. He is one handsome dude. colored beautifully too I might add. those trees are wonderful and the cute little penguin. Perfect Tilda for inside.
