Each year I look forward to the Catch the Bug Christmas in July Challenge. It gives me a chance to start my box of kid friendly cards which are sent to Send a Smile 4 Kids. Coincidentally, their current challenge is Christmas in July. So any cards you enter at Catch the Bug can also be entered at Send a Smile 4 Kids Challenge.
Day 1 at the Catch the Bog Christmas in July challenge is a theme challenge.
Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favorite Christmas movies, especially the old version with Natalie Wood,
and it inspired this card.
This an old image from Bugaboo, colored with markers and Wink of Stella, with a bit of sparkle embossing powder on the snow.
I've used a cricut cut sentiment, Believe, from the CTMH Scrapbooking cartridge.
