Christmas in July



Happy Monday!

Did everyone have a good weekend? I sure did. I got to hang out with my hubby and my three girls (the dogs). We had a very relaxing weekend and got some things done around the house. The weather was perfect. My oldest & his wife are back from a mission trip to Guatemala and my youngest son made it safely to Idaho Falls. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family.

I made this Christmas card which made realize I have very few embellishments and paper for Christmas cards. I guess it is time for more shopping. Oh My!

Here is what I used for the card:
Magnolia Stamps- Post Vintage Merry & Jingle Tilda
Memory Box Yuletide paper
Flowers
Bling
Twine
Copic Markers
Stickles
Misc. Embellishments

Here is a close-up of Tilda:



I am entering this card in the following challenges:
