Hello on a Wednesday! I've been trying to do just one Christmas post per month, but I'm back with another so I can play along with Jo and Elf Linby at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge. They're calling for presents this month.
I'm seriously trying to make progress on my not-yet-used goodies, but I thought I didn't have anything fitting among them for this prompt until I took another look through my Cottage Cutz bin. Geez, I found two that would work, but I only had time for one today. Here's a cutie driving a vintage VW bus just like one we gave our son for Christmas one year.
That was about 30 years ago and he no longer has the bus, but he still comes home for Christmas. The sentiments are both from a retired Power Poppy set.
Total Christmas cards in the box: 21
I'm glad I squeaked in at nearly the last minute.
Sending thanks to Jo for another wonderful and fun Christmas Kickstart Challenge! Enjoy your day!

This is the cutest Leslie! I love it! The scene and sentiments are so perfect here! Off the look for this one! I don’t have it! 😆
Absolutely CUTE, I haven't seen this one I don't think, I wish they would come out with some new ones and offer a sale too (because I don't have any, right?) Another favorite card of yours for Christmas, I am impressed how many you have done!
What a great card - and such a wonderful gift! Looks like he picked up a hitchhiker!

Great layers on this one Leslie. So fun and festive.
How I like hearing the story of the van your gave your son, Leslie! What a wonderful find in your Cottage Cutz bin. Such great details you've added in this happy scene! Had to check to see that you did emboss those tall trees. The sentiment is perfect. I can tell you had fun with this one!
What an amazing snowy scene you have created for your Christmas travellers. I hope they got home safely. Love the bold colours on the van too xx
This is so darn cute! I love the little VW bus and the delightful scene you've created, especially his little buddy on top!
What a fun card, Leslie! I love that red VW bus loaded with Christmas presents!
I think this is a really beautiful card Leslie.
from the bold images to the bus and the cute driver, this is fabulous. I love how you create your cards. You are such an inspiration to me.
So adorable. Love the VW Bus and your great design. Fun to find things that we didn't remember we had.
Another adorable card from one of my favorite crafter and my go to for inspiration.
Oh my goodness that was a great find in your stash, He looks serious on getting to his destination, love the penguin peeking out of the present, great scene you made with it also, the road with snow on either side and the big snowflakes falling, perfect for your son and the challenge!
