Christmas In July

 I made this a TRUE Christmas In July by adding a sexy lady in her bikini with a beach ball on this card (Digi stamp courtesy of Sassy Studio Designs - in case you want to get her for yourself!)

She looks a little light in the photo because I added paint to give her a creamy color to match the other colors in this card.

I also used some of my new Candi (See the gold & black circles?) They look like buttons or brads, but they are actually cardstock - Fantastic, I think!

Apple & Snowflakes

I have a big box of Christmas supplies. Today, I pulled them out & decided to create a collection of crafts for Christmas In July.

This is the first.

Are you already thinking about Christmas? Do you start getting ready for it early? Are you a procrastinator & wait until the last minute?
