You've heard of Christmas in July, well, at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, this week we are celebrating Christmas in July! So get a head start on those Christmas cards and join in the fun!!
For my card, I used a My Sentiments Exactly stamp set called, Christmas Sentiments. It is a great set with many different stamps and possibilities! I also used some Magnolia Christmas paper called The Christmas Song, some hemp cord, seam binding, an old rusty bell, a Melissa Frances pipe cleaner candy cane and some Liquid Pearls.
And there is also a Summer Holidays Children's Challenge going on now too! Anything Goes for kiddies ages 2-16! It runs until August 29th!! There are not 1 but 2 $25 vouchers to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore up for grabs!!
Here is a Circus Car Card made by my 5 year old son, Antonio, for the challenge. Pretty good, don't ya think? ;)

Gorgeous card Melissa, I so need you to teach me how to tie bows to look that good with seam binding, mine always look limp, pathetic attempts lol.
