How to: prepare for Santa's arrival

These days at the end of the year are running so fast, I can hardly notice that. This week was crazy & successful at the same time, I took part in a dance contest with my little dancers and we made 2nd place! Yay! Here's the team of my crazy clowns:

Anyway
back to crafting
It's high time for a new challenge at
Crafty Catz Challenge Blog Bagde
and it's
Santa Coming To Town
In Poland we celebrate St Nicolas Day on 6th December, and he brings presents independently to X-mas.
The sponsor for this challenge is

I missed vintage style, that's why I decided to go that way.
The designer paper is pale blue, but I couldn't make a good photo, the days are so dark, I can hardly see what I do. This beautiful vintage pic comes from a scrapbook set, God only knows from where. I bought it last year and that's all I remember.
There are 2 hidden tags made with THIS cool die cut: one with a 'Merry X-mas' sentiment, and one with a short poem about Santa.
The tree comes from a Cottage Cutz die - it's a pear tree, but it could be a winter tree, too. To make it more winter I added the white structural paste.
Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope I was good enough this year and my Santa will give me a present LOL

I see why you miss Vintage style - you are really good at it! The texture in this piece is delightful Anna! The structural paste and the distressed edges really give your card character. I also like the whole concept of hidden pockets and messages - so that is another plus on your design. Well done indeed! Thanks for sharing your project in the “Any Sentiment” Challenge.
