Christmas in July!


Oh boy, has it been hot enough for you? I love summer, but the high 90's and humidity, not so much! Air conditioning and a little card making helps one to get through days like that. Especially when your thoughts go to cooler weather and a Christmas card! I'm playing along with a new to me challenge that I discovered on my friend Marcia's blog. It's called CAS Christmas.


I probably should have read the rules before making my card. They say no pattern. As you can see, I do have that little patterned tag. And maybe the dry embossing is considered to be a pattern... don't know. 
 

Anyway, I went with clean lines and I hope they like it. I also have one more made for my (very small!) stash of Christmas cards!

Sweet Nativity scene Lisa. And perfect sentiment to go with it. You can have patterned paper on your card, as long as you have an area that is unpatterned. You are good to go with this card! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!

Oh Lisa...your card is absolutely ADORABLE and in true Lisa style! Your image just couldn't be any sweeter, and while true CAS doesn't involve any pattern, this is just too CUTE not to like!! I'm so glad you gave our challenge a try and hope you'll come back often...we'd love to help you get ahead of the Christmas card rush! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at CAS Christmas!! Hugs. :0)

Great layers on this darling design, Lisa! I love the image of baby Jesus in the manger, the stitched sediment, and the awesome holly e/f! I hope it has started to cool off there! Hugs, Darnell
