Merry Monday #230

Merry Monday mixed it up and asked for Scandinavian and/or Noel on your Christmas card.  Of course I had to do both.  This will be the card for my son, whom I appropriately named Eric, who embraces his Scandinavian ancestry to the hilt.  His daughters are Anneka and Kjerstin, his dog is Thor and previous pets were named Signy, Freya and Loki.  Fortunately he married a girl with Swedish ancestry too.
I colored my NBUS Santa with Zigs to look like Tomte and put him on a warm embossed sweater.  If I had God Jul dies I would have put it on the card but they asked for Noel so it worked out fine.

Thanks for dropping by.

What a fun card, Bobby! I love that you included the word 'Noel' and the Scandinavian feel to your card with that fabulous embossed background and paper! Of course my fave is the fun Santa, and how you colored him...so clever!!!

The nordic DP and delicious 'knitted' texture combine so beautifully here, Bobby ... the happy leaping Santa is so cute and fun against it ... and of course I love the stylish 'Noël'! Hugs, Anita :)
