Multiplying Santas
I made a fun foam Santa stamp from a drawing that I posted earlier - and used it to stamp on the front of a sketchbook. I then stamped the envelope of a Christmas card and a piece of newspaper to clean the ink from the stamp parts.
The following day I stamped the front cover of 6 pamphlet stitched sketchbooks for my Grandchildrens' Christmas stockings and stamped 3 more Santas on tracing paper to clean the stamps.
Each of these extra Santas were used to make two journal pages in my sketchbook - a definite case of multiplying Santas....
Happy Holidays to everyone! And a fabulously successful, art-filled New Year.

THat's a fantastic idea! It's art, it's cute, it's festive, and you could repeat it as many times as you want, but you'll never get two the same...it's UNIQUE ^^
Glad to be back too Shirley(actually I never left, I just got distracted) and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Delightful Santa's - sort of replicated the feeling at the shops where there is one in every direction. Happy holidays and all the best for 2011. Alison in Canberra
