HIMCR Challenge # 158: Christmas in July & Blog Hop

Hello friends! 
So in addition to our weekly challenge, this week we are also doing a blog hop! Woo hoo! 
Our challenge over at Hiding in My Craftroom this week is - Christmas in July! So you just need to create a project that is Christmas themed or any other Holiday that you celebrate in December. 

The sponsor this week is Hiding in My Craftroom:
hidinginmycraftroom.com 
The prize is TBA!

Here is what I came up with for the challenge!



I bought this stamp from Micheal's and I just love how jolly Santa looks! I thought he would look perfect on a gate fold card! The papers are from Gina K. although I do not remember from what collection. The image was colored with my handy dandy Spectrum Noirs. Although it is hard to see in the picture, Santa's beard was done with white flocking powder just to give it that extra special little touch. :) I'm definitely getting a jump on my Christmas cards this year, which hopefully means I will not be cramming a bunch of them in the first weeks of December!

If you need some inspiration for this challenge head on over to Hiding in My Craftroom to check out what the other team members came up with as well! Now it's your turn! Join in the fun and don't forget to link your project to HIMCR #158: Christmas in July.
