Christmas in July!

Good morning!!! Today's card is for this week's Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which is....CHRISTMAS in JULY. I know for some of you it is difficult to think of Christmas when you just had a barbecue and saw the 4th of July fireworks display, but it is the perfect time to get some of those soon-to-be sent out Christmas cards completed. You are probably going...what does she mean soon-to-be sent out? As fast as time seems to be zipping by, believe me, it will be upon us sooner than you may think;o) So, the Stamptacular Team is helping you to get the Christmas Spirit flowing!!! All you have to do this week is create a card/project that celebrates Christmas, make sure your creation includes stamping...after all it isn't called the STAMPtacular Sunday Challenge for no reason, and have loads of fun while you are doing it:o) Then, post a DIRECT link to your creation into the comments section of the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog. You have until midnight (EST) July 11th to submit your Christmas creation, and we all look forward to admiring your joyous works of heART:o)

I hope you have a Fa-La-La-La-La Fabulous day and are enjoying your weekend to its fullest!!!

Love and Hugs!!!
Carolyn
