Welcome to the Christmas in July blog hop, hosted by the Cookin' Up Creations Master Chef Challenge Team! Yeah I know, it's way too hot to be thinking about Christmas, right? Wrong! With the temperatures rising above the 100 degree mark the past couple of weeks I've been spending a lot more time sitting inside under the air conditioner. And if you're anything like me, you are probably doing the same. So why not join us for our Christmas in July blog hop for some great ideas and inspiration to help you get a jump start on those holiday cards and projects. To begin, stop by the Cookin' Up Creations blog and follow the links until you reach the end of the hop.
Today, I will be sharing a couple of Christmas cards I made using some old patter paper with (in this case) some older pattern paper, but you can use new paper.
I just adore that red and white polka dot paper......it's been in my stash for what seems like forever! And that Santa stamp.......pure love! It belonged to a friend of mine and I literally begged her for it! I did, honestly. I'm not above begging when it's something I want! lol.
Thank you for stopping by! Now be sure to stop by Jo's blog next to see what holiday inspiration she has cooked up for you. Our blog hop continues through Sunday evening, July 22nd.
And be sure to stop by the Cookin' Up Creations forum for our CHRISTMAS IN JULY CROP this weekend, starting Friday, July 20th - July 22nd. There will be more holiday inspiration, prizes and games.
