Hi Everyone
I hope the week is treating you nicely .. .. what is it with all these thunder storms and rain?!!? So much for St Swithun's Day predicting 40 days of glorious sunshine!!! That theory has been blown out of the water that's for sure LOL!!!
But every cloud has a silver lining because this morning instead of spending ages watering the crops in the garden I made a card to fit into a few challenges instead .. ..
This used:
Image: Penny Black "2754H" Xmas Kiss
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat "Tiny Christmas Sentiments"
Backing Papers: "Christmas Selection" Snow Flurry and "Christmas Script" Twas the Night
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Punches
Ribbon, Cord,Charm and Gems from my stash box
I have a few challenges to enter this into:
Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge (I should have done a Christmas card every month on the 25th .. .. but haven't manage many months so far .. .. shame). Happy Rudolph Day Sandra xx.
Sketch Saturday .. .. and if you fancy playing along here is the sketch I used (but I flipped it).
The Ribbon Girl Challenge .. .. and if you fancy playing along here is the inspiration picture.
Penny Black Saturday: whose theme this month is "Christmas in July"
Wow!! I don't think I have ever entered so many challenges with a single card.
That is it from me for today. Time to start work on some Save the Dates for happy couples tying the knot next year.
Have a good day everyone.
Catch you again soon.

Lovely card Jules! How are you? Not popped in for a while. Should think you'd be glad of a bit of rain, really helps in the garden and look at the extra time it's given you for crafting, lol! You could also enter this at Stamp and Create and Sweet Stampin who both have Christmas in July themes, if you want to go for the record, lol!
