Christmas In July - First Day!!!!! Yay!!!!!

Well here we are - it's the kick off day on our Christmas Card journey for "Christmas In July".

Every day I will set a new challenge for you to create a card - we're getting in early with our Christmas cards instead of leaving it all to the very end.........arghhhh!!!!

So for today's card

Create a card using a "Cuttlebug" or dry embossing if you don't have a cuttlebug

(This is my card using my new embossing folder by Tim Holtz - I just love it. I have also used some scraps of ribbon, ric-rac, felt flowers and other bits and pieces - It was funny how this card came together - I was going through my red ribbon stash and found just little bits that I couldn't throw out - I love using up little bits)

You can sign up anytime you like during the challenge and just catch up - as a new day begins I will pop up the new challenge so be sure to keep popping back in to check. I will be playing catch-up myself I'm sure!!!!!

Thanks for joining in.

Luv Sandie

Thanks Deb.

I've been away for a little break so I pre-posted the post - LOL if that makes sense.

Will have a go at the challenge once I've unpaked, cooked dinner, sorted the kids out.......phew............you know how it is.

Have fun creating.
