Christmas in July!

 It's Christmas in July!  Too early, you think?  Well, tell that to some of the stores - especially craft stores!  July seems to be the time to flick on the switch and start making those Christmas cards and gifts.  And if I was smart, maybe start doing a little shopping?  Nah.  But creating Christmas cards and gifts?  Yes!

For my card I chose several rustic looking pattern papers and stamps/dies from Papertrey Ink (Two Feet Deep). 



  Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
