ABC - Anything But a Card
That's the challenge for Day 3 of this fun event.
There was a time that I started my Christmas shopping in the summer and was finished by Thanksgiving.
Now I start making gift card holders in the summer instead.
I used a Bugaboo image of Frosty, Santa, and Rudolph
for this gift card holder. This trio is so fun and easy to color.

Here are the challenges I am entering:
Shopping Our Stash Challenge # 424- Christmas in July
Christmas Craft Creations July Challenge - Christmas Characters
Always Fun Challenge #172 - Anything But a Card
If you read yesterday's blog post, I was on the way to watch our grandson play in a baseball tournament. It was a very, very hot day. We were lucky to find a parking spot on the hill above the ballfield
and could watch the games (3 altogether, 1:00, 3:15, and 6:15) from the car with the AC on. Our boys finished 2nd in the tournament and this proud nana did not melt. (I was really glad I wasn't taking one of those sweaty 15 year olds home with me.)
Great idea for the gift cards. I'll have to remember to do something like this for my family this year. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for playing along at Catch The Bug CIJ challenge today.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun creation, two gifts in one! So glad you joined us for our Christmas Characters Challenge at CCC!
ReplyDeleteGift card holders are so handy. I see that as my nephews grow up money and gift cards are what’s on their wishlist. And a homemade gift card holder makes such a gift much more personal. Yours is beautifully made. Thanks for joining our Christmas in July event at Catch the Bug.
