Case-ing a Jingle Belle

Every week I intend to enter a card for the Jingle Belles challenge, but quite often I run out of time before the deadline - I was determined this week to get a card done in time.

The challenge on Jingle Belles this week is to CASE a card - I chose Stef's card,which was originally shown for this challenge on 13 May:

The paper with the lovely little Christmas pictures is Letters to Santa, part of the Christmas past collection by Graphic 45. This is a double sided paper, so I've matted the pictures with paper from the reverse side.

The background glittery paper is from My Mind's Eye Christmas glitter book.

This is also for:
