Christmas is Coming challenge for Use Your Stuff Blog

Good Morning and happy Monday to you :) Ah Christmas is Coming! How are you doing this month? We are surprisingly doing well :) Got almost all the gifts purchased, wrapping yesterday and just a few more days to complete that task, plus my personal wrapping too. We got fun plans for the weekend in our Ugly Sweaters something new that Dave has been excited about and the decorating which looks like will be during the week before Christmas. Some day I coaxed Dave into doing it sooner :) Just 2 weeks away... yes it is coming!
One thing I was well prepared on was making cards this year for Christmas with Christmas in July with a fun yahoo group I belong too called Scrappin N Chattin so was able to include this card for this week's challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge: Christmas is Coming!

 Lots of gold on this card and a fun sentiment I got off a Christmas sticker set. The tree came out a pack of die cuts I found at a yard sale that had a variety of die-cuts for throughout the year :) Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation for this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog :)

Snowy Merry Christmas for Funday Friday

Good Morning and welcome :) Today is Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack and the theme is Always Anything Goes! Today's Sponsor is Sunny Studio Stamps
I created alot of Christmas Cards last month for Christmas in July and this was one of them:

 I had some fun creating this card using some cardsock, embossing folder, snowflakes, stickles and that wooden lookalke chipboard piece. added a scrap of ricrac to it and I got one of my favorite Christmas cards I made out of 31 for July. this was created for a challenge over at Scrappin N Chattin yahoo group for a bare tree, a stamp I don't have :) but the chipboard piece worked out perfect for it.

Another angle of the Christmas card to see all those textures. Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your creation linked up over at Jo's Scrap Shack
