Just when you thought it was safe after all the challenges of Christmas in July, Simon Says Stamps challenge this week is Christmas in August.
The inspiration for my card was I wanted to use the Hero Arts Happy Holiday trees stamp, which I stamped twice on the blue card then cut out along the bottom of the trees so I could stick them on white card for snow. I then used the Penny Black globe cling stamp, using a Penny Black Hedgie I stamped inside one of the globe image and then very careful using the Hedgie stamp I inked the snowflakes so I could stamp some more snowflakes round the globe.
I still have the Echo Park Wintertime out which it used for the large stripy mat, flat ribbon bow and Cuttlebug and Martha Stewart snowflakes to finish.
We would love for you all to join us with our challenge and there's an amazing prize for one lucky winner. Do pop over and check out the rest of teams fabulous creations.

Oooh, Debby, this one is sooo cute! I did not make any x-mas card yet and I am afraid I am not gonna get my goal this year by sending everyone a handmade x-mas card. I don't feel like making them yet. Hope that will change on time :)
Hugs,
Renata
