Stamp Simply #147 - Christmas in July

The Stamp Simply Challenge today is about Christmas in July. I think every year I will get a head start and get cards done way in advance. I never do.  So here is a perfect jump start for all of you good planners out there, it is time to break out the Holiday stamps.
Play along and link your project on Sharon's blog, No Time to Stamp using Mr. Linky. See what goodies the team cooked up this week....our Ring Leader Sharon, Janine OrchardA J OttoDeb SaarenenDeb NeermanBarb AndersBarb Schram and we have Clare Buswell from Ireland as our Guest Designer this month... Her blog is Clare's Creations.

This image is actually three ornaments in a row, but I cut out the middle one to use on this card. I kept it simple and traditional in Christmas color. I love this Cuttlebug Folder, I think it was one of the very first that ever came out and I have embossed a lot of paper in it! I just love the snowflakes embossed in white.  I used Copics on the ornament and then jazzed things up using bling and glitter glue for sparkle.

What a fabulous ornament, Jenny! Love the beads and classic color combo. Do you think if we all make Christmas cards it will feel cooler here?
