Here Comes Santa "Claws"

Finally, my Action Wobbles came in today and I HAD to use them.  So far, I have not been able to find them at any of our Scrapbooking stores in New Brunswick.  I wanted to make a "non-traditional" Christmas card and thought that the crab from Create a Critter was super cute for this task.  Here is my recent Christmas Card.



Materials Used:
-A2 size card
-Patterned paper from Tis the Season paperstack
-Crab cut at 3" from Create a Critter Cartridge by Provocraft
-Frame from Elegant Edges (p. 25) Swirl 1 Oblong and Shadow cut at 3 3/4"
-Santa Hat from Joys of the Season by Provocraft (p. 47) cut at 1 1/2"
-Action Wobble
-Green Stickles for Santa Hat
-White Jelly Roll Pen
-Button and twine
-Sentiment printed from computer at 16 pts.

Challenges:
Die Cuttin' Divas #74:  Christmas in July
Clear it Out:  Christmas in July using Green or Red or both
Diana M. Larson:  Christmas in July
Bitten by the Bug 2:  Christmas in July
