Hello and Happy 1st Monday of December! Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and the inspiration prompt for this month, is naturally, a festive one:
When my children were small, we never missed at least 1 visit to the Magic Kingdom at Christmas time. It truly is a magical place to go at Christmas Time and the Holiday Parade is fantastic. This photo inspired me to create a Christmas card using the Jolly Elf digital stamp from Sweet November Stamps.
Isn't this little nugget the cutest Elf ever? I've colored him using my Prismacolor pencils and hand drew the lines on his hat to create stripes. The patterned papers are from the Echo Park "My Favorite Christmas" 6x6 paper pad.
I've die cut the focal panel using a nesting rectangle postage die and the sentiment strip is from a Simon Says Stamp premade pack. Lastly, red sequins were added for a bit of holiday bling.
Please join us for the last challenge of 2023. The team and I wish you a very Happy Christmas and Joyous New Year!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

A wonderful little elf on your fabulous card. We visited the Christmas Parade in Florida, some 30 years ago. Aladdin was the music and theme, loved the music since then. Lovely memories, thank you for the reminder.
