Santa…I Tried!

High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and the HH Divas have an array of Fall, Halloween and Christmas cards as our daily inspiration here.

Poor Goliath, he has had a  bit of a tricky time trying to explain to Santa, that his well intention plans of being good and helpful to him have gone a tad astray.  I have no doubt that Goliath Christmas Mouse (High Hopes Stamps) will get it all sorted out eventually.

As I had coloured Goliath with a gray and a warm gray I wasn’t sure which one I should use, so I used both to create two CAS cards.  A start to my Christmas collection of cards.  I used different dies and twine also.
