Christmas in July

My goal was to make a 2 Christmas cards each month of this year.  Well, that train got derailed by the remodeling of the office.  But I'm back on track with July and made these two this week.  I like to take an idea or sketch and play with it....do it a couple of ways.  I had seen this flower design made by taking a square and rounding 2 corners of each square.  I had not really thought about making a Christmas card with that idea but I like the way that these turned out.

Glory Be!! I'm back!

Oh my gosh! After what seemed like forever, we finally got the office finished and put back together and I can go back to making cards.  My hubby says I can't wipe the giddy look off my face.  I will confess that I almost wept when I finished my first card.  Silly...... it may seem to some but it made my soul happy.  Today's posts are a set of eight cards that is a kit from Basic Grey called Curio.  I got the kit at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington TX in June.  I bought so much stuff there that it's kinda embarrassing.  This set has wonderful vintage papers and embellies.  I had never purchased a set like this before but I certainly will again.  These cards turned out really nice and I was able to snap them together in a matter of hours.  I'm thinking that I might give them as a set as a gift.

Thanks for taking a look!
