I seem to be on a short hiatus from cardmaking of late! I've been really busy with other activities at home, away from home, and with family. As usual, I have lots of cardmaking events that have pasted me by!
One thing that has been passing me by quite regularly is getting started on my Christmas stash this year. I have been worrying about it, and since we've seen "Christmas in July" come and go, I actually got the yen to make a card very late in July! I had a lot of incentive from Splitcoaststampers' challenges as well, and I will be posting it there as well.
I received some new free paper through the Stampin' Up Sale-A-Bration event going on in July and August, called Silver and Gold Specialty dsp (white glossy with gold or silver foiling), and somehow it got me interested in getting at least one Christmas card in July finished. Take a peak below at my finished card, though I have not completed the inside verse or design, which I usually post. I'm actually realizing that Christmas cards do not usually get a peak at the inside verse, because I'm not usually mailing them at the time that I make them!
