Hello and welcome to July 1.
The new challenge has begun over at the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog. The challenge runs July 1 thru August 15. Plenty of time for you to make a Christmas project and get it submitted it to the challenge. The Merry Little Christmas Challenge is an all-crafts Christmas challenge blog and welcomes any and all kinds of handmade Christmas creations all year long.
I love Christmas and making cards for that season is really a joy, especially if you are not in a rush. So, the more Christmas cards I make now, the fewer I will need to make at Christmastime. (LOL)
I perused all my Christmas stamps and this pretty bird caught my eye. Its from an old set from a company that is sadly no longer around, My Sentiments Exactly (MSE).
I added a gold frame but it looked kind of plain to me, so I added embossed swirls to give more interest.
To carry that Christmas theme onto the frame I added holly and some flowers, (poinsettias of course. LOL)
