Christmas in July



I couldn't resist the challenges I found calling for Christmas cards. It's another hot day so I closeted myself in my craft room and made this card. Having the trees appear on the plain white background gives the illusion of snow - I think. I like the simplicity and the sparkles. I just love Christmas! Enjoy.

Recipe:
Martha Stewart Hairloom Paper
White Cardstock
Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge
Silver Snowflakes by Michaels
Silver Stickles
Dimensional Foam

This card was submitted to the following challenges:
1. PaperCutz Challenge #49 - Christmas theme without using red or green;
2. Cardz TV - Christmas In July, Challenge #3;
3. Ooh La La Challenge #58 - Christmas in July;
4. Paper Sundaes Challenge #26 - Layers;
5. My Creative Time, Throwback Thursday Challenge #7 - My Favourite Holiday

  5. What a nice card! Sometimes I get so stuck on trying to figure out what else to add, but this card shows that you don't need the card to be filled up to look beautiful!
