Christmas in July

Thanks to the challenges with Christmas in July themes I'm getting a few more holiday cards done early.  Could this possibly be the year I'm done with plenty of time to spare?  Wouldn't that be lovely!

This one can go through the mail without having to be hand cancelled but being a large square may require extra postage so if you're new to making cards that's something else you need to keep in mind.  I think 6" is the point at which extra postage comes into play but don't quote me on that. 




Here's the deets:
stamp - Mo Manning "North Pole Employees"
ink - hp printer; Ranger "Walnut Stain" and "Tea Dye"
paper - Bazzill "Ruby Slippers"; My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found Christmas"
miscellaneous - copics; Martha Stewart tag punch; brown and red markers; linen thread;

Here's the challenges:
Merry Monday July - any previous sketch (I used #10)
Totally Gorjuss #140 - It's Christmas
Sisterhood of Crafters - Let's Hear it for the Boys (this is for the one I love - see the tag)
4 Crafty Chicks #98 - Stripes (even the elf is wearing stripes for your challenge!)
Crafty Sentiments - Christmas in July
Terrifically Thrilling Thursday - What the Text
Jellypark Friends - Christmas in July
2 Sisters - Christmas in July
Ladybug Crafts Ink - Christmas in July
Top Tip Tuesday - One for the Men
L'il Red Wagon #141 - Christmas in July

Thanks for visiting, come back again.
