'Tis the Season

'Tis the season for Christmas in July. I guess this is the beginning of my Christmas cards for this year. If it weren't for challenges, I wouldn't get started until mid-December. Well, Cheery Lynn Designs challenged us to Christmas in July. Artistic Outpost's July challenge is anything goes (as long as we are using AO stamps). And the word challenge at Take a Word is music.My image is Frosty the Snowman from AO's Frosty and Friends. I just love the images in this set. The sentiment is from there also. The pointsettias were made from Cheery Lynn's Build a Flower using sparkly red paper. I foresee lots of flowers made from this set. The background was dry embossed using a Sizzix (Tim Holtz) texture fade.
