A really striking crimbo card with that jolly santa. You've coloured him perfectly & I can almost hear the "ho, ho, ho ". I really hope you're little man's swimming teachers understand his fear & he gets to enjoy his lessons. That is something I wished I'd learned at school.

Hi Nic, fabulous card love the sweet image and funky papers. Everytime I pop by here your colouring gets even more amazing love the way you now do your backgrounds makes the images really stand out.
Been having a bit of a catch up with your blog (need loads more hours of blog hopping to catch up with everyone lol). As always love your stunning creations - have to say the card with lady in red on it(looks a bit vampish) is amazing just love it.

Fabulous card Nic, lovely layout. I am so jealous, this is my favourite stamp of the new Nellies but am on a self imposed stash diet at the mo. It will be the first one I get when allowed again. Debs xx

Hey Coops. Oh bless your little man! I hope he enjoys his swimming lessons xx
I loveeeee this image! so adorable. I wow I love that background with dots you have done.
Thank you for your advice on my blog xxxx
Hi ya, another gorgeous card. Such a cute image and really do like your white dot technique. So glad your little man enjoyed his first day back at school, I wonder (as someone else suggested) if it might be a good idea to let the teacher know of the water associations your son has - it might help when it comes to the swimming lessons. Best wishes, Sarah
Wow Coops this is one gorgeous image! love how you have coloured it and the layout is fabulous too!:) Sandra H
Hi Nic, what a great card, such a cute Santa too.......glad little mans day went well, hope the swimming goes well for him too.xxx
Hi Nic! Glad little man's day went well! As you've seen, mine's been pretty good too! I'm sure he'll love his swimming, once he's been a few times - my little man is in the deep end at stage 5 now!
Love the colouring on this one - think I need to invest in some more red Promarkers! Fab card, as always! Lisa x
OMG what a cute Christmas card. I totally love your coloring and the glamour dust surely adds sparkle to your creation. I must look into getting the "dust." Hope they sell it here locally.
Hi Nic glad your little man enjoyed his first day of school. Hope the swimming goes well too. Can't believe my baby is now in year 4 and the eldest in year 7. Doesn't time fly.
Fab Christmas card and I love that Father Christmas image he is great.
Hugs Sarahxx
Lovely card Nic, glad your Sons day at school went well. Nice to have a male teacher as there don't seem to be many in Primary school anymore. I wish I could swim properly, suffered with ear aches every time I swam in the school pool, gave up!!!! Jane x
My antivirus didn't want me to look at you blog due to it containing pornography!!! Had to tell it that your blog was Ok to open. This is another gorgeous card, fab colouring. Are you liking the flexmarkers? Haven't tried them yet. Marianne x
