Happy Sunday, peeps! Time for a new Paper Players challenge with Stef as our hostess! It's Clean-and-Simple week too! Here we go:
What a great theme!! It had me conjuring up all kinds of ideas! I knew I wanted to do a vintage image, because I love vintage Christmas, and while going through my bulging folder of vintage Christmas ephemera, I came across a page of stickers from Current! Remember them? Santa is one of my favorite images for Christmas; he makes me think of my childhood Christmases! I pulled out some DSP from a few years back and went to work:
I adhered my Santa to a little diecut circle and added a gold scalloped mat becase, as you can see, the Christmas-word DSP is printed in gold foil too! I recently got this cute banner die, so I diecut it in Real Red, then added another banner of gold foil behind it to help it stand out:
On the inside, I added a Flonzcraft sentiment:
Now, what CAS creation will you create for our challenge?! Remember to keep it simple! Share it with us at the Paper Players blog! We can't wait to see it! Thanks for visiting today, enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, you've just reminded me that I haven't used my 'letter to Santa' this year! Do I ever remember Current - I could look at that catalog for days and still use my recipe binder that I bought from there years ago!
This little Santa is so perfectly vintage with his apple cheeks and cherry nose! You have transported me back to my childhood, my friend! I LOve your card so much!

Gorgeous card, love the print background and happy Santa..
Thank you so much for joining in with our challenge at Little Red Wagon, hope you will play again..

VERY cute card, LeAnne! I love that you can read the DSP, sort of...
And the Santa is adorable. I used to buy lots of stuff from Current, including my checks (which I no longer use). Ha!
Thanks for sharing!! Have a great week! Huggs from gorgeous FL
I absolutely love your Santa, LeAnne! He is so cute and jolly with the ruddy cheeks. I share your affection for those vintage styles of Santa. He goes perfectly with the gold text background and the banner sentiment is perfection! I remember Current too; you definitely have a fabulous stash, my friend lol!
I love your vintage Christmases - so nostaglic. The gold in the paper is such a luscious thing and you've tied it in well with the gold scalloped circle.
Oh my, just look at his rosy red checks and fluffy white beard! This is a darling card, LeAnne and it just makes me smile!
Adorable, LeAnne! This Santa is a cutie - truly a jolly old elf. The paper you selected makes a perfect backdrop. I remember when SU! released it. It has such a lovely vintage feel. As for Current - oh my gosh! What a blast from the past! Have a wonderful week!
LeAnne...so perfectly vintage... LOVE IT.
What a fabulous vintage Santa - and it pairs beautifully with that gold text paper too. The perfect image of Christmas!
You know how I love Vintage Santas! This card is just perfect! Love the gold text and the scalloped circle behind this handsome, jolly Santa! Have a great weekend!
LeAnne, vintage and Christmas = LeAnne. I love your vintage Santa and that fabulous background. I'm not surprised you have been hoarding that! I love the scalloped circle behind the Santa and the banner. Gorgeous card.
hugs
