Critter Sweaters + Visions of Sugarplums in July!


Christmas in July!  I usually don't get around to making anything for Christmas until about September.  So, yay!

Not only is it Christmas in July - it's also Visions of Sugarplums in July!  

 You know what that  means, a challenge or two and prizes!  Woo Hoo (or HoHoHo)!

To kick off Visions of Sugarplums, I created this fun Hinge Card featuring Critter Sweaters from Sijmon Says Stamp.  Adorable critters, right?

Here's the inside - so pretty with the embossed snowflakes.  You can also see a little bit of the envelope.  If you want to see how I made the custom envelope, you can watch THIS VIDEO.

 Here's the video for the Sweater Critters Hinge Card:
Please link back to this challenge.  The winner (random selection) will be announced Sunday, July 28th.  Link your picture below.

 Looking forward to seeing your Christmas in July creations!
