Visions of Santa and Weekly Deals - plus Christmas in August photos!

I think I'm finally recuperated from the Christmas in August event on Saturday!  I'll be finishing up a few kits tonight and had a class yesterday, one tomorrow and my downline meeting is tonight - yay!  I'll be sharing photos over the next week or so of the Christmas event, along with some great swaps and our projects.  The project I want to share today is my swap card using the new Visions of Santa stamp set.  This is one of my favorites from the new holiday mini catalog because it's soooo funny.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make this card.  It took a while to figure out the logistics, but it was worth it.

I used a retiring set for the inside verse, but it was fitting.  

Here's the card in action:

Visions of Santa stamp set(available 8/28/2014), Christmas Messages stamp set (Holiday Carryover List)
