Christmas in July with Double Trouble

 Everyone is sporting a Santa hat for the Double Trouble Challenge #143.   In fact, I'd like to borrow the hat that Thing 3 is wearing for my December Red Hat meeting.

 

I made a card featuring a Bugaboo digital image.  

 


It is July, this is a Christmas card, the cat is wearing a Santa hat, and I am submitting this card to the Jingle Belles Santa Hat Challenge.    I think I have all the bases covered.

Recently I came across a container of card kits that I had made for a class but didn't get used.  I was able to use some of the pieces from one of the kits to create my card for this challenge.

 Here is the sketch for this week:
 
I found a third of a piece of patterned paper mixed in where it didn't belong.
Rather than find its home, 
I made it into two cards.
First I made one using this week's sketch:


And this would be my scrap card:

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #714

 

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for
 
Tuesday Morning Sketches 
 Here is the sketch for this week:
 

Many of the challenges will have a Christmas in July theme this month.  I thought I'd join in.  Besides the mailman just delivered these  Newton's Nook Prehistoric Christmas stamps and dies I ordered. I couldn't wait to use them.
 






(Papers are from Stampin Up.  They aren't Christmas papers, but I think they work just fine.)

Send A Smile 4 Kids July Challenge #239

 

The theme for the July Challenge at

Follow SAS4Kids on Facebook!
is 
Christmas in July
 
Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.
We just want to see your wonderful creations
and hope you enjoy making and sharing them! 
 
Here is my card for July: 

This card features stamps and dies from the retiring Newton's Nook  Prehistoric Christmas sets.  I just loved these stamps immediately and thought they would be perfect for cards going to SAS4Kids.  Plus they are on sale!  From top to bottom meet  Treeceratops, Santasaurus, and Velociwrapper.  I used markers to do the coloring.  The dinosaur paper is from Stampin Up.
 
When I opened the bag of  papers, there were two partially made cards inside.  Now they are finished Christmas cards, too.
 


 Cute, huh?
 
It would be great if you joined the fun at the
July Challenge.
(Cards only, please. And they need not be donated.)
 
Please take some time and visit the fabulous blogs of my teammates.  They work so hard and are very creative! 




If you didn't see the birthday card I made for the June Teens/Tweens challenge, you'll find it here.   It is a special fold card that I made for my daughter, Kristi.
