Little Red Wagon Challenge #352 Christmas in July

Hi Everyone! 

Here we are again for another weekly challenge.  This week, I am the host for the challenge and I have selected "Christmas in July" as the theme.  It'll be here before we know it and I thought just maybe this year I would start to make some cards now rather than in December. I have found myself to be giving more gift cards. Last year we were able to bless (no really we received the blessing!) several families with gift cards for food & gas.  So I though I'd start to make some cards that I could put those gift cards into.   So here is my take for the challenge.

That little scalloped circle is actually keeping the card closed!

This is what it looks like with the top flap folded up.

And when you fold the other flap down - ta da! There's the prize!

I hope that you can join us this week - I'd love to see your creations.  Check out with the other girlfriends have made for the challenge over at Little Red Wagon!

Here are the materials I used to create this card ~

MFT Jingle All the Way stamp set

Paper Studio Holiday Cheer 6x6 patterned paper

MFT Circle die

Fiskars Scalloped punch Large & Small

MFT Gift Card Grooves die

Prismacolor Pencils

Hi Everyone! 

This has been a busy week, I was able to get a little Grammy time in with our grandsons! The weekend was fast and here it is Wednesday again, which means it's time for another challenge! This week, Mandy is our host and the theme she has selected is "You're a Star!"  You need to use stars on your projects.  I've had this adorable little super hero for awhile, it's from A Random Fan stamp -  Underwear Hero!  It reminds me so much of my grandsons who used to run around with underwear on their heads! 

I'm working with my copic markers and practicing A LOT!  It's all good and I really enjoy playing with the markers.  Come over and join us in this week's challenge at The Little Red Wagon. I can't wait to see what the other girlfriends have made.  You have until next Tuesday to enter!
