Christmas in July

We’re now well into July. Doesn’t quite feel like it here yet but I’m sure it will soon. Seriously…this has to be the coolest and wettest June/July in my neck of the woods. Sandwiched between the Great Lakes, we usually get a summer full of heat and humidity. I’m enjoying working in this much better but I’d love a little warm weather in time for vacation.

Today we’re going to think cold though and have a little fun for the WT challenge…Christmas in July.  I hope you’ll have fun with the challenge, pull out some holiday stamps and get a little head-start on those creations. Check out the challenge here.

My design for today’s challenge features a new All Things Considered set designed by Becky Olsen. I love the evergreen theme of this set and the classic vintage look.

Compliments of the Season

Quick Tip: For a tiny and controlled touch of sparkle, I love adding “glitter” with a Sakura Stardust Glitter pen in clear. So easy to add with out the mess.
