It's Christmas In July!

Today starts a new challenge at Forever Friends (Christmas in July) our sponsor for this challenge is Michelle Scrapbooking.   This is my first two Christmas cards I've done so far and it's inspired me to start working on them, for all you know it surely will be around the corner before we all know it.. LOL!.  For more inspiration hop back over and take a look what the DT ladies have to offer you.    Don't forget to feature and animal on your card too, we would love to see a Forever Friends bear but it doesn't have to be.
Here's my first card using a digi from Forever Friends:

Recipe for my card:
papers from My Minds Eye- Merry Little Christmas
flower - Wild Orchid
sentiment from Stampin Up
pearls, silver embossing poweder



My second card is a digi  from our sponsor Michelle Scrapbooking::


Recipe for my card:

    These are so festively wonderful, my friend! How I LONG to make a Christmas card! ARGH! Hehe. But I will continue enjoying everyone else's until I can craft some out of my system! These are both so lovely, with precious images and accents that celebrate the best season of all. :o) (How adorable is that bear?!) The heat-embossed sentiment looks fabulous. Wonderful work on both, Shirl! :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
