You know me...random is my middle name, so why not have a little Christmas in July :). I really like digging into my Christmas stash in the heat of summer. This card was created for Festive Friday's challenge to create a card with the word "Snow" on it. I used Papertrey Ink's Tremendous Treats: Christmas and Holly Jolly stamp sets.
These next couple of cards were created for Emma's Paperie and use some of my latest favorite Basic Grey supplies from the Mint Julep line....such a happy and sweet collection.
Supplies used on this card can be found HERE.
And the supplies used on this card can be found HERE. The colors and patterns of the Mint Julep paper are so soft and girlie....can't quite get enough.
I wish you all a wonderful week. Right now there are signs of my busy little girl everywhere and I'm enjoying them as I know it will be back to school time here very soon. My craft table has been taken over with crayons, markers, drawings, and her creative projects, the guest bedroom with Barbies, 6 new baby kittens outside that have won our hearts, and chocolate ice cream for a snack each afternoon. What could be better?
My favorite quote for the day:
"There is power in our love for God and for His children, and when that love is tangibly manifest in millions of acts of Christian kindness, it will sweeten and nourish the world with the life-sustaining nectar of faith, hope, and charity."
—M. Russell Ballard, "Be Anxiously Engaged", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012

Be back soon I hope!

Three wonderful cards! Love the colors and design elements you combined on each. Each detail of the cards you make, unmistakably "mark" them as yours, Melissa. What a wonderful designer you are. :) It So glad to read that you are enjoying these summer days with your little bean. You're right to capture every moment and make a memory. Time does truly past so fast. Huggles, Gabby
