One Big Martini

The glass in this image reminds me of a funny story involving one of those enormous glasses that some honeymoon type resorts have.  I've never been to one but I have seen photos of them.  Without telling the whole story I'll just say that when you are taking your souvenir photos for show and tell if you aren't properly dressed be aware of where the mirrors in your room are or you could be embarrassed when you take those pics to work.  'nuff said. 
I love that there are lots of Christmas in July challenges out there.  It's just the incentive I need to get some more cards done.

the inside
I haven't been showing the insides of my cards lately.  They're still getting done most of the time but I'm just too lazy to take and post the pics.  I know, that's really lazy.  Today is different because one of the challenges calls for a finished inside and I don't think they'll just take my word for it.

Instead of machine stitching there's doodles around the paper edges.  It doesn't show well in the photo but Glossy Accents were applied to the berries, small glass and swizzle stick. 


Here's the deets:
stamp - Bugaboo "JJ Christmas Cheer" digi
ink - hp printer; Ranger "Worn Lipstick"
paper - Stampin' Up "Poppy Parade" cs; Me and My Big Ideas "Reds Color Basics" dp
miscellaneous - copics; ribbon; bling; glossy accents; Spellbinder's "Label One"

Here's the challenges:
Freshly Made FMS45 - sketch
Creative Belli #148 - Christmas in July
ABC Christmas - O is for Open It Up (decorate the inside too)
Cutie Pie #23 - Christmas in July
Whoopsie Daisy - Christmas in July
