Christmas in July

 Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday weekend! Celebrating the 4th is always a fun time, bbq's and pool parties and lots of sun! We went and saw a parade and had a nice bbq with the inlaws then watched the fireworks show on tv to end the night..good times! :)

So now that we're in July, we are offically half way through the year, so that means Christmas is just about 6  months away, so it's time to slowly start stocking up on some handmade xmas cards for my stash! I had a few extra minutes over the weekend and came up with this...simple, but still cute! :)

I've had these adorable Paper Smooches stamps that were just dying to be inked up, so I did some paper piecing and I got a little hohoho cat and a polka dot puppy..soo cute! 

I used the Chubby Chums set by PS.

And the sentiment is brand new by EAD/Paper Smooches Christmas Sentiments.

I'm sure you'll start seeing me making a few Christmas cards now and then..don't worry I wont get carried away..lol! 

Supplies:

Paper Smooches-stamps

EAD-sentiment

PP-DCWV

Cricut cart-3 Birds on Parade (Santa Hats)

twine, toothpick, cardstock

Have a great day!

P.S. Here's a few pics from the parade.  :)

Hi there! Guess what!?! I made another layout! yeahya! I'm getting caught up!! woohoo! I think if I make at least one a week my stash of pics will start to go down..I like the sound of that! ;)
I love the bright, colorfulness of this layout. And the pics of Natalie fit perfect with the colors and theme.

 Isn't that lil' duckie so cute!?! It's from the Simpy Charmed cartridge and I stamped the face with the PK-Extra Large Critter Faces, I even added some fibers as the 'nest'.
 The title is from the 3 Birds on Parade cart.

 Lovin' the baker's twine! I think I'm addicted! I get mine from Scrappy Mom's..HERE.

 I had to get a close up of the itty bitty heart brad..I thoght it was a nice little touch! :)

I hope you like it!

Have a great day...see ya tomorrow for the EAD color challenge!
