♥ Christmas Wishes Pocket Card ♥ {JRC#078}

Christmas in August?? Well, ok I'm a little late for the "Christmas in July" challenge at the JustRite Inspiration Blog! (Not really, it ends tomorrow!) I actually made it in July though but I am just getting around to posting it today! hehe

I wanted to make a Christmas Pocket Card using the JustRite Deck the Halls Cling Set and a Simple Stories Memorabilia Pocket. I love pocket cards for Christmas. They are just perfect for money or gift cards as well as a fun, interactive card.

I colored in the ornament using pastel chalks as well as lots of glitter and some Liquid Pearls.

The paper and cute flags and chevron stickers are all by My Mind's Eye from the new All is Bright line. ♥ {I will be having a Christmas Giveaway shortly for this amazing line as well as some other goodies! Stay Tuned!}

You still have a day to join in this fun JustRite "Christmas in July" Challenge! Get an early start on those Christmas cards! And have you seen the new JustRite stamps?!! Oh my!! I need them ALL! Especially some new Christmas ones!

 Have a great day! See you tomorrow!

♥ Christmas in July! ♥

Hi everyone! I'm sorry that I have been missing in action lately! I first took a week off to prepare for our annual 4th of July party, then needed to take a couple of days off to recover from our 4th of July party! hehe My "baby bump" has now turned into a "baby mountain"! So I am easily tired now heading into the home stretch! Only a little more than a month to go! Yippee! So I haven't felt much like doing any crafting lately. I hope you forgive me! {wink} Well, until yesterday anyway! I must admit, I went up to my craft studio and instantly caught the bug! I then saw this week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room blog and that was all I needed! This week's theme challenge is "Christmas in July". My 2 favorite things! Summer and Christmas! (even though I like the cold and snow for Christmas!)So I decided to make 2 cards for this fun theme! The first one is a Snow Globe card. They are so fun to make! I used some Webster's Pages papers from their 6"x6" Holiday Collection pack, some October Afternoon cardstock stickers, Martha Stewart punched snowflakes, pearls, gingham ribbon, white ball trim and of course, lots of glitter!My next card is a Gift Card holder. So easy to make. Just mat a piece of paper onto a slightly larger piece of paper using an adhesive on the bottom and sides. Take a circle punch and punch half a circle onto the top left hand corner of the smaller piece of paper. Instant gift card holder! I used some more Webster's Pages papers, graphic 45 tags, Hero Arts stamp, MS punched branches, more glitter, Debbie's hand dyed seam binding (love it!), red ribbon and hemp cord.I will be back very soon with my Blogaversary Giveaway! I can't believe it's been 2 years since I started my blog! Since I will be taking a break after the baby is born at the end of August (I will post pics though!) I wanted to give away a very special gift to my friends! Hopefully you will all stick around until I come back! And don't forget, I will be giving away a CRICUT CAKE!! Woo-Hoo!! So stay tuned!!Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs....
