Christmas in July

Hello everybody,

Well I'm posting this card this evening because the school holidays begin tomorrow and where I would normally have bliss and peace - my world is going to be noisy and hectic - my gorgeous girls are off for the summer! woo hoo! Hence i thought I would try to get ahead of myself and do this now!

So, a Christmas card for your perusal:



The image is from the Scrapbook stamp society and the layout is following a sketch from christmas card challenges with sketches.
I've coloured the image using promarkers and added glitter. I've used a punch from martha stewart to create the snoflake border and the paper is from american crafts (I think - it was sitting in my scrap box).

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
scrapbookstampsocietychallengeblog: Sing a song of Christmas.
christmaschallenges: with sketches: 33
whimsyinspires: punches and edgers
papertakeweekly: all things girly
CHNCcraftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge: Twinkle Twinkle little star
jellyparkchallenges: Christmas in July

That's all folks! Might be back again tomorrow night! Big Hugs Rachel xxx
