Card Design: The Christmas Card Panic Begins

Can you believe that this is only the second Christmas card I've made?  I'm in sooooo much trouble.  I've been trying to pull off some really simple and quick designs.  No time to colour right now if I have any hopes of these cards getting to their destinations on time.  I have been working on colouring some images but haven't been able to put a card together for them yet.  Here is the first of two I've made so far.  

As I said REALLY simple.

Here are the details.  I hope I haven't forgotten anything...

• Image of Santa is an AWESOME freebie that I got from Grands9Creations.  It was pre-coloured saving me a lot of time.  I've been wanting to create a card using an image from my wonderful friend Sue, and here it finally is.  It is the first of several I plan to use on Christmas cards this year.  Please go and pay Sue's blog a visit and become a follower if you haven't already.  As of last count she is just one member shy of 100--an awesome milestone that she wants to reach by her blogiversary January 1st.  So help her out if you can.  She provides daily free word art creations so the trip over is definitely worth it.
• To fulfill the requirements of one of the challenges, "use a sentiment", this image has one built right in to save me time.  Plus there are some words running along the bottom.  They should count too right?
• Paper:  The base is from a card set I got at Dollarama(R) some time ago.  I've had it over a year so I'm finally using up some of my older stash (a requirement for another of the challenges); the Christmas themed papers are all from a Recollections(R) Christmas paper pad (sorry I don't have the exact name--I'm upstairs and it is downstairs right now).
• The fabric snowflakes are from Dollarama(R).
• The sentiment inside is also from a year old stash of rub-ons I also got at Dollarama(R). Amazing all the things you can get for a buck or two, isnt it?
•  One of the challenges is a doing a cute christmas theme.  I believe that Sue's image firmly falls in the category of cute, don't you?
