OK…so I couldn’t find anything that remotely resembled an “A”, but these jolly old elves were still staying at the “YMCA” in my mind. At least they were weren’t doing the “Hokey Pokey”…or were they???
You put your right foot out,
- The card base is Real Red with a layer of Whisper White card stock on top.
- The sentiment was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black.
- Visions of my favorite Santas were punched out with a 1″ square punch and matted onto Basic Black.
I hope you enjoyed today’s fun card. My son, Brady, loved this set the moment he saw it, so this card is earmarked for him. I know he will get a hoot out of it! I truly think it will appeal to the younger generation. What do you think? Won’t you let me know in today’s comment? Your comments are important to me. As always, if you ever have a question about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. Until next time…
(Muffy and I are in Freeport, IL this weekend. Wish us luck as we continue our quest to create memories!)
I love your naughty rocking Santa card.
Hugs, Antonia
Ann, this was the perfect sketch to use with the dancing Santas. They really look as though they are at a geriatrics gym class getting ready for all that activity on Christmas Eve. Loved it!

Too cute, Ann! Love those YMCA santa’s! 🙂
such a cute santa card. Little ones of all ages will enjoy this card
I agree with LeAnne, this whole series doesn’t appeal to me either but the way you’ve featured the paper and sentiment sure does! Wicked clever, my friend!
Fantastic card! The only reason I bought this set was for the moose in it, I think the Santa’s are kind of creepy, but you actually made me like them in a way with this card!
Love your sense of humor – your card is great though I am not a fan of these particular Santas…I like the old fashioned ones….you did a great job and love your take on what the Santa’s area dancing to!!!
Have to admit – not my favorite stamp set. But —- you certainly made it appealing. Such a fun, quirky card. I’m still smiling. Love it. Good luck as you continue your journey with Muffy. p.s. still not my favorite stamp set.
You know what? I really don’t care for that set, but I love the card you made AND the images your songs put in my head : ) thanks!
I am LOL at your post, Ann! I love this DSP and you made me look at it in a new light! YMCA is a great interpretation of the dance. But, I am a fan of the Hockey Pockey, too! Best wishes this weekend to you and Muffy! XX
Loved you YMCA take on the Santa paper and stamps. I loved them immediately when i saw the holiday book and I’m a young geezer.
( as in not even close to being an octogenarian) I got the stamp set cause I figured I could make my own paper from the stamps. But your point is well taken as in you will love them or hate them. Oh, I love the card!!!
I am still chuckling – ho-ho! I, too, thought the YMCA and Hokey Pokey when I saw this paper! I love how you captured them on the card though the post was just too funny! Also, maybe doing the aerobic thing too or some ballet steps. This is still a funny card – and one I would love to have just to make me smile! I wonder what Brian King will say? Great job on the card. Have safe travels and you go Muffy, rack up those points!

Such a fun card Ann! I’ll admit this stamp set didn’t get a second glance from me but you really made it shine.
This paper and stamp set was in my ‘not keen’ pile, but I loved Mike’s card last week and yours this week – I think you might have converted me! Great card – so funny!!
You are too funny!!! I didn’t like this set, but you have put a whole new spin on it! Brady will love the card.
Best of luck to you and Muffy!
I sure got a hoot out of your post!Fun read..and a cute card!
I liked this stamp and paper, but just wasn’t sure how I would ever use it. After seeing what you and Mike have done with it, I sure have some ideas now!
I don’t think I will ever be able to look at this paper without thinking of the Santas dancing the YMCA! Too funny! Your card is perfect with all of that white space, too. It highlights the Santas so well!
I absolutely love the card that you made. It is fun,creative and it certainly made me smile. I think that it is a card for all ages Ann and it does remind me of the YMCA song. 🙂

I absolutely adore this, Ann! Yes those Santa’s do look like they are doing the YMCA, but my first thought was an aerobics class! Gotta stay in shape for the big day! You totally rocked the sketch.
LOL, I would have to admit that this stamp and paper did not appeal to me, but the way you’ve used it here is INGENIOUS! Cracked me up!!!
oh and buy the way …LOVE your card!!!
not just the “younger generation” …this stamp set is one of the first that i bought … LOVE it !!
