Show Me Your Santa!

lol The title gave me the giggles! lol I am participating in Bugaboo's Catch the Bug Challenge 4th Annual Christmas in July Blog Hop. Phew! That's a mouthful! lol It's a week long challenge and I'm not sure I've got the stamina for it! lol I've got all my images colored and the blog hop looks like fun that is for sure but a daily card??? I have trouble remembering to take my chemo drug daily... sometimes even eating... :\ I'm working with a fried brain. If you've read my blog before I'm sure you've read me writing so... well... I! Mean! It! :( Anyway, I'm gonna give it my best shot!

Here's my Saturday project for the Christmas in July: Week-long Challenges/Inspiration:

Here's a close up of the image:

The theme is "Show Me Your Santa". I kinda looked at all the entries so far cause I wasn't sure what was meant by that. There was one girl who had this picture:

... and a couple of the entries had Santa on the beach so I thought... hmmm... but as I continued to visit the other blogs... some of them just had a Santa and they understood it like me... "Show Me Your Santa" so here I am showing you my Santa. lol 

I love Bugaboo images! They are just so Cah-You-T! I've even applied as a Guest Designer but I will not hold my breath. The list was LONG. I was number 142! Can you believe it?!? I can dream though! :)

So I'm getting off the subject... surprise! I do that a lot... ADD... I'm sure of it! I've used a sketch from Digi Sketch Challenge. The challenge is "In the Garden or Sketch". I think they'll know... I'm using the sketch... but I'll be sure to clarify that for them. Here's the sketch:

I'm also entering this into these Christmas-themed challenges:

Decosse's Dynamite Doodles: The 12 Month Christmas Card Link Up

Completely Christmas: Challenge #20 - Anything Goes

I am a follower of these blogs. The blog layout I use does not allow me to list challenges on a sidebar. Instead, I display badges and / or links here. 

This is how I put my card together:
