All Dressed Up for Christmas in July!

Hellooooo

I do think we are all a little bonkers making Xmas cards all year round haha! Before I started blogging I never would of thought about Xmas cards until October! My friends think I'm barmy making them now! Lol

I used a gorgeous Digi by All Dressed Up & have gone a little shabby chic!




I used:

Coloured with Promarkers

Maja Design Papers & Lace - Live & Love Crafts
Sentiment Stamp - LOTV 
Woodware Star punch
Pink Heart Sparkler from stash

I added glitter glue to the stars and wings on the image and the punched stars
Pink Glitter around the image frame
Glossy Accents on the tree baubles





Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas! Lol!

Challenges:

3. Sweet Stampin - Christmas in July

    Hun, this is awesome. I am super impressed you are making Xmas cards and don't think you are in the least bit bonkers. Bonkers is trying to make 200 in December in a week when you realise that you are a little behind!!!!!! Ha ha. Beautiful design and very pretty image. I am going to check that digi out - I am very taken with it!!! Hugs, Jayne xxx

    I love this image and you've coloured it beautifully. Gorgeous papers and lace too. Seems strange to make Christmas cards when it's so hot - but I've done it too this week!!

    This is one of my favourite ADU images as I love the elegance and you have carried that elegant feel into the whole card :-) I love the colour combo and all the pretty sparkle.

    Big hugs, Kat xx

    Hi Lucy; nah it's a must to get started early if one has lots of cards and projects to make. A couple of years ago I made my first X-mas card in January, LOL. Very cute image and card, and I see you've used Spring/Summer papers; that's what I always say; Maja's papers can be used all year around! :-) Thanks for joining LLC, and also many thanks for entering my Race for Life Candy and sharing it.
