Now, I am very fortunate to have an accomplished artist as a husband. Not many out there can say that!! Robbie is an aviation and railroad artist of well known repute. His fine art can be found on his Website or on his blog which is dedicated to his mistress, the Argus this of course was the inspiration for our first image – Angus Argus.

It is any image you can find--- Reindeer, Angels, Birds, Butterflies, Sleighs, Stars, Snowflakes....anything that can fly in the air!!!!! I hope you have lots of fun with this sketch and theme and are inspired by the design team! Now lets see your creativity fly!!!! LOL

Here is my design card for
Midnight Madness Sketch #30
I also combined this card with
the Pixie Cottage Challenge
that required stitching of any kind!
That was an easy one because I just love stitching on all of my cards!

I used a pixie cottage image that was illustrated by Artish.

Santa and his reindeer's throughout my childhood have always been magical to me! Santa and his reindeer fly everywhere on Christmas Eve. I just couldn't pass up this adorable image of Santa and
one of his reindeer checking out the list
from the inside of Santa's sleigh,
before everything is delivered!
They could be on your roof top on Christmas Eve!

The design team has created many beautiful cards for your inspiration.
Please stop by the Home of Midnight Madness to see all of those wonderful cards!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!
I appreciate all of them
