May Your Coconuts Never Hang Lower Than Your Grass Skirt...

Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends,

Today, I am popping in to share a fun card for my sister's birthday. I love it when crafting leads to accidental inspiration.

Christmas In July

Happy Wednesday Craft Friends!

I am popping in to share a Christmas card, fitting for Christmas in July. Right? I know the Christmas season seems so far away, especially if you are creating Christmas cards when it is 93 degrees in the shade. However, what a wonderful way to get the creative juices flowing and have a little time to plan this year's Christmas cards.

Today's card features a few Taylored Expressions oldies, but goodies. It has been a hot minute since I have played with pattern paper, and using the TE Build a Scene-Christmas pattern paper added a different twist to my normal creative routine. The card also uses the Critters on Ice stamp and coordination die set.
