Christmas in July

Hello everyone....hope you are enjoying your Friday!!! We have had a busy week but I can't think of anything we did that was very exciting.....weeding, cooking, cleaning, shopping, sleeping....I really need to get out of my rut...LOL!!!! Tomorrow my daughter, Holly, is coming over so we can play together in the craft room. I bought us each a butterfly shaped album and we are going to pool our embellies so we can decorate them. It will be fun to see what we both come up with!!! Anyway....

I was in a Christmas mood this week after our church craft sale last week...the theme was Christmas in July. Susan (Rainy) at Rainy Day Creations has started a monthly sketch challenge on her blog so I thought I would play along. I had some Santa stamped images left over from a set of cards I made for the craft sale and just couldn't let them go to waste. I also used my new favorite Christmas paper from Bo Bunny called Snowfall ...I loooove the blue and brown together!!! I even found some Prism paper to match...Mystic Light and Mystic Medium. Sewing, pearls, silk ribbon and a little coloring on Santa finish it off.

This is also for the PaperPlay Challenge which is Christmas is July, Crafts and Me Challenge to use ribbon and a bow, and The Die-Cuttin Divias Challenge which is Christmas in July.

I had some scraps of this luscious Bo Bunny paper left over so I made a couple more Christmas cards

Now I have three Christmas cards in my stash...Whoohoo!!!


Thanks for stopping by this morning....I'm off to the shower and then to the craft room to clean it up a bit before tomorrow...have a great day!!!!
