Christmas In July

It's time for a new challenge theme at Double D
and if you are hot in the middle of July it's a good one as it's 
CHRISTMAS IN JULY
maybe that will cool you down a bit lol!!

We have a fun mood board for Inspiration too,
but you can create anything Christmas staying within the theme!


I totally let the bottom left picture inspire me with the berries and greens!
I purchased a new 3D embossing folder last year around
Christmas time and fell in love with all the detail and thought
it would work great for this challenge.  But, you should see the other half
of the embossing folder, it's a big one so I cut the image in half
and it's just as gorgeous as this one!
In case you are interested in purchasing it, you can find it at Spellbinders
under the name of Holiday Floral Swag.
I didn't give the link as I write this up in Dec of 22 and not sure if they will still have it!


Make sure to pop on over to Double D and all the pretty inspiration there!!

Entering the following challenges:
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge .... Anything Goes Christmas
Shopping Our Stash .... No Stamping Allowed
Unicorn Challenge .... No Designer Paper
Dragonfly Dreams .... Christmas
