Christmas in July!


I was full of good intentions in January and promised myself I'd make at least a Christmas card per week, needless to say I've fallen by the wayside!  So I'm delighted to see there's a few Christmas challenges about this week!  I quite like how the fur on Santa's outfit turned out, but not sure about his beard, so I'll have to go surfin for some tips.

Hope you've had a good Sunday - its a wee bit draughty here, the wind has blown down some trees and power lines and would most certainly blow the cobwebs away!  

High Hopes challenge #82 is to use a star - I used these little red buttons from my stash

The Corrosive Challenge #71 - Christmas time

Fussy and Fancy Friday #14 - Christmas in July

ABC Christmas is N is for Noel (which is basically anything Christmas!)

Supplies
Stamp: High Hopes
Paper: Dovecraft 'Ho Ho Ho'
Accessories: copic markers; star buttons; silver peel off sentiment; cuttlebug embossing folder

There's the big man himself all decked in red, white & blue! Great embossing, coloring & stitching. Looks like the whites of his jacket are POOFY! Thanks for playing along at Fussy & Fancy. Good luck.

Your card is adorable, Thanks for checking in on me, I have been so busy going back and forth to the hospital, that I haven't checked my blog for over a month. Hubby has MS and it really took a turn for the worse, He is finally home after a month stay in hospital and re-hab center so I was going back and forth we then had nurses, physical therapists etc coming in and out of the house plus I was working. We are now on our own. He is now basically wheelchair bound, so it kind of takes it's toll. I am now home for the summer and hope I get a chance to play again. God Bless him, his spirits are high, and I have two straping boys to help around the house. So once again, thanks for checking in on me, sorry I didn't answer you sooner, but I honestly haven't checked my blog messages in all that time...Hum wonder why...lol
