Christmas in July at The Shabby Tea Room


Christmas?  In July?  I have to admit, the day I made this card the weather was a rainy, cold and windy and it sure felt like winter was just around the corner!  If you are one of "those" people that have already started your Christmas shopping, then this week's challenge will be right up your alley.  :)  The Shabby Tea Room challenge theme is "Christmas in July" and we'd like you to make a card or project with a holiday theme.

I wanted to ink up one of my Pure Innocence girlies that I hadn't been able to use yet and found a fabulous sketch from Julee and the gals over at Mojo Monday - it fit my image perfectly!


Recipe - Stamps: Presents for You (Pure Innocence, MFT)  Paper: Soft Suede, Real Red, Whisper White, SU! DSP  Ink: Soft Suede  Accessories: Hemp twine, paper piercer, Nestabilities, Copics, square punches, adhesie rhinestones, Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder

This week's sponsor in the TR is Frost it Pink and the lucky winner will receive a prize package filled with fabulous goodies so I hope you will join us!

Melissa, I just love the cute stamp from MFT! I also love the way you embossed the white background and added rhinestones, it has such a wintery feel!
