CHRISTMAS IN JULY W/DR DIGI


Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN!

This time we are being sponsored by 

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Our challenge is "CHRISTMAS IN JULY"

I love Christmas.  It's the best and most wonderful time of the year.  Everyone just seems a bit nicer at Christmas and we get to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.  So doing a Christmas in July challenge just brings a bit of that miracle time of year 6 months early.

For this challenge I am using the image "Lonely This Christmas" from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  Such an adorable stamp!  I've never been very good at white so this was a bit of a challenge for me.  I hope I did OK.  I colored with Copic markers and added some Glossy Accents to the glasses and the stick arms (just to give a bit of stability) then added a bit of Liquid Applique` to the ball on top of his cap.  The sketch I used comes from Sketch N Stash.





Everything I used was in my stash and some of it over a year old.  It's nice when you can use these things up.  The papers I used are from Martha Stewart, Bazzill and Trimgym (paper piecing on his shorts).  The snowflakes are Reflections, corners are Momenta, pearls from Kaiser Craft and Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  I created the sentiment on Word.  

I do hope you will visit all the amazing creations we have made for you at Crafting When We Can and remember we love to hear from you so all comments are very appreciated.
