Christmas in July....

Ok, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do a Christmas card. This is the cutest image. I don't remember what company makes it but I do remember that my good friend, Mary, sent me some of these images because I said I loved it when commenting on one of her gorgeous cards. Thanks, Mary!!

I got a card from one of my good online friends and she used this punch and stamp so I CASEd hers and added the snowflakes & ribbon. Thanks, Tracy!! My hubby noticed the card sitting on my desk and he commented about what a nice card it was. I told my friend and she was surprised that he even noticed. My hubby definitely appreciates homemade cards and is interested in looking at them. I guess maybe it's because he has that creative/artsy brain. I made this to tuck away for him since he loved the image so much. Every time she sends me a card, it catches his eye! She makes really cute ones!

I didn't do a great job with the Copics. I painted over them with Shimmerz. I used Coal, Royal Red, Angel Wings and Blue. My cs is SU Pacific Point & Riding Hood Red and the ribbon is Riding Hood Red. I love this ribbon because it's so easy to tie! Thanks for looking!

Michelle this card is so adorable! Don't you just love working with cute snowmen. This stamp was a Whipper Snapper stamp. I love the Shimmerz on them and the punch on the bottom. Wonderful card Michelle!

This card came out so great! I told Mary the other day that I wanted to design my XMAS card during my vaca in a couple of weeks. AAHH!!!

You did a wonderful job with the Copics! Are you worried about the blending? Sometimes I go over my area with the lightest color a couple of times to get it to blend together nicely. I do think you did a fab job and I love that image...soooo funny! Great job!
