Crafty Gals July Challenge

Welcome Back Blogging Friends!

Today, I have a challenge from the Crafty Gals Blogging Group over at SCS.  Our host this month is
Patty.

So our challenge this month....

Christmas in July! And since clean and simple cards are my very favorite your challenge this month is to make a clean and simple Christmas or Holiday card. I can't wait to see all of your holiday cards!

Well, I thought about this all month.  I struggle with the CAS cards a bit, but I finally looked around enough and found some inspiration from Laura Williams in the November 2010 Card Maker magazine.

Recipe:
Image:  Stampin Up Jolliest Time of Year
Sentiment:  Brother Sister Design Studio
Paper:  Red & Stripes by MME, I have no idea who the holly paper is by.  It was in my stash.




Please stop by and see the other wonderful creations from the Crafty Gals group.


I would like to enter this in the following challenge:

Thanks for stopping by!   

Have a great day!
Until next time....

  3. This card is great, Athina, especially on a day approaching 80's! hehe I love that you used the "tearing" technique. Very effective here!

  4. I saw many of us struggling with the challenge and I thought that is what a challenge is all about... but we did it and your card is another great creation for our group. Well done Athina!!!. I made three attempts before the one I posted... couldn't do it... why it is that hard when it says... "Clean and SIMPLE"???. We are very complicated I think... LOL.

    1. I guess I never thought of us as complicated!! Too funny. This was actually my second card. I can't say it will remain my style, but it was definitely a good challenge. Thank you!
