Christmas in July - CGC Challenge #81

Hello crafting friends. Welcome back, I really appreciate your visit.


Challenge #81 ~ Christmas in July

What a wonderful way to start working on your Christmas card stash.  Time for mailing out those cards will be here before you know it.  And isn't this challenge just perfect for my Christmas in July celebration that I'm having during this month.  If you missed it, you can read all the details on this post.

Our wonderful sponsors this week are:

Prize: 2 Digital Images


Prize: 3 Digital Images




Prize: 7 Digital Images


For my card this week,  I used an image from Bugaboo Stamps, called Christmas Teddy Cocoa.  It really is hard to imagine sitting by the fire drinking hot cocoa when our temperatures are 98 - 100 degrees F right now.  Sitting by the pool with a coconut frou-frou drink sounds much more appealing :-)



Recipe:
Cardstock ~ GinaK.
DP ~ From my scraps drawer
Stamp ~ Cardz TV - Very Merry
Ribbon, charm, card candy ~ from my stash
Copic markers used to colour image
Ultra Fine Flower Soft for Santa hat
Liquid Applique for frothy goodness :-)

Thanks for stopping by today.  You have till noon, CST, on Tuesday, 26 July 2016, to link your project to our challenge #81, "Christmas in July", at Crafty Gals Corner.  I can't wait to see your wonderful Christmas projects.
Please take a few moments and visit our blog for some awesome inspiration from my DT sisters.  While you're there, please take a quick look at the few rules for this challenge.  Also, don't forget to visit our wonderful sponsors this week.  You will find a great variety of digital images and papers available to help you create your projects!

Till next time,

Crafty hugs

  8. Adorable! Love the added details of flower soft on the hat and liquid applique for the frothy goodness. I can not help but smile at the thought of heating up the liquid applique, might have to dig mine out.

  12. You did a great job with this sweet Bugaboo image, using traditional colors and making the creamy foam on the cocoa, it looks yummy.
