The Paper Players Theme Challenge


"Into the woods." 
That's the theme challenge at The Paper Players this week! We are supposed to use wood grain paper, texture, trees, cabins, etc.

I pulled out a piece of wood grain paper and Tim Holtz Nordic Winter die. I LOVE that background...and there are trees on it too for the challenge!

I spent ALOT of time putting together this Tim Holtz Santa..wow was that tricky. I followed a video on U tube, but it still was pretty hard. Lots of small pieces. I really like all the layers, but it's hard to see them on the photo. But believe me he's pretty detailed in person! The presents and sentiment are also Tim Holtz.

Oh my gosh, Laurie! That Nordic background is so unique! I LOVE it...and your cute Santa! I can see where he would take a lot of time to assemble...but he is awesome! What a great card!

Love that patterned woodsy background Laurie and your Santa is a work of art - he must have taken ages to put together! So worth it though. Fab card!

Oooh, I love this die too! I just CAN'T go over to TH and check it out...I will spend too much $$$ if I do! But I love your little Santa and all the other goodies on this fun card!

I also bought this great die, but the amount of all these little parts scares me. You did it very well. A wonderfully arranged card
