Christmas in July.

Hey Girls!

I don't do challenges. I don't like them. I've said this before. I find them stifling of the creative process when you have to use these colors or these shapes or follow this sketch. Just not me at all. Not knocking anyone who does challenges because I know a ton of people do, but for me, it doesn't work. All that being said - I'm participating in Jill's Christmas in July challenge - LOL BECAUSE all you have to do is make a Christmas card. Doesn't matter what's on it, what sketch, what colors, what stamps, what papers. THOSE kind of challenges I CAN do - heh.

So I've got a cute lil' Christmas card with mostly Papertrey Ink stuff on it except those trims (lace from A Million Memories and the brown trim is by American Crafts).

Have you started working on Christmas cards & gifts? All my Christmas cards are handmade - and no 2 are alike...I hate mass-producing. And I want to make a lot of the gifts this year too. So yeah...Christmas stuff...in the works.

Have a great day!

Oh, Michelle, this is too cute! I love it! The colors are awesome, the lace & ribbon, the cozy GB cookies (with beads for eyes!), the sentiment with the red line going off the edge . . . I *will* be CASE-ing this, LOL! I am honored that you broke down and entered my challenge, hee! It truly is an pleasure to have you join in, Michelle, thank you!
