Black Friday = Hoopla!!!  There certainly is a lot of hoopla with shopping today and I figured there should be a card to go with it!  Naturally, I pulled out Holiday Hoopla.  I just got this Santa last week and will be using him for a tags class I am holding next Thursday.  He is so much fun and takes hardly any actual work to make him shine on a card.  I paper-pieced his hat with Jolly Holiday paper and then used additional patterns from the same DSP to make the card.  The layout is SC308 from Splitcoaststampers.  It has a lot of layers but comes together really quickly (it had to!).  Just take a look at this happy fellow:

I had a hard time getting a picture because of a cloudy day but finally got this one.  I colored Santa’s face with Blush Blossom to make him a little rosier and added some Dazzling Diamonds on his hat with my Two-Way Glue Pen.  The sentiment is from Short & Sweet (this one seems to stay in heavy rotation this time of year!).  I added the Old Olive buttons and called it done.  This was actually made on Wednesday while I was waiting for my pumpkin pies to bake.

I hope your Black Friday is only filled with Jolly Hoopla!!  Thanks for stopping in…see you again soon!
