Christmas in July

Good morning everyone hope you are all ok. Today is Thursday so that can only mean one thing - the start of a new challenge over at Delightful Challenges!! This week the theme is:

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!

So now is a good chance for you to make a start on those Christmas cards, you know each year you say you won't leave it til the last minute so get out all your Christmas stash and get cracking!  Here is mine:

Isn't she just the sweetest little Caroler?  Love her little Uggs!! She is called Caroling Penny and she is available from Digital Delights.  I have coloured her with Copics and Prisma Pencils and added a touch of Glossy Accents to her buttons.  I have cut her out and put her on some 3D pads to make her pop a bit.  The snowflake paper is a Digital paper and is available in the Snowflakes Paper Pack from Digital Delights.  I put the sentiment onto it before printing, the sentiment is from the Caroling Sentiments set also available from Digital Delights.  The mat Penny is on has been cut and matted using Spellbinders Nesties and the white Pearl Card has been embossed with a dotted embossing folder.  The larger strip has been embossed with a Music embossing folder.  The musical notes have been cut out with silver mirri card using a Memory Box die.  Our sponsors this week are:

and the lucky winner will receive a Betty Mouse with Candy Cane Christmas stamp.  To enter you don't have to use a Digital Delights stamp but we love it if you do!  Anyone using a Digital Delights stamp can enter their project twice.  For more inspiration please pop over to Delightful Challenges and see what the rest of the Design Team have come up with.
