Did you think I'd be too busy with work to be back already? Me, too, but just watch, I'll prolly end up making more cards and doing more posts while working than I normally do when I'm home all day long sitting on my lapmaker!
I wouldn't be too impressed if I were you, howsoever, because all the cards I make will no doubt be QACAS, like the one I have for you today. It's a wee Christmas card using one of my oldest and most-beloved stamps from Great Impressions. I implied some Atyou Sparkle pens and a whole lot of glossy accents and that's it, Wallah!

The more smarter card artists among you make your Christmas cards all year long. (If I were more smarter, I'd have listened to my grammar.) Although well-intended, I didn't start making mine until June, which was a whole lot sooner than last year, so squee for me. Now this week I'm seeing several "Christmas in July" challenges popping up in Blog Land and I'm entering my card in a few. I hope you get a chance to join in all the fun and get a start on your holiday cards, if you haven't already!
- A long-standing and fun all-year-long Christmas card challenge is Merry Monday. For July, instead of a weekly challenge, Merry Monday is having a month-long "Anything Goes" challenge, which means, yippee, any Christmas card you make is welcome there! In addition to the usual spectacular Design Team, this week Lesley is showcasing two fantastic guest designers, Rose Miller and Danni Bindel!
- Susan's One-Layer Wednesday challenge this week is "Christmas Sparklers" which is self-exploratory.
- At The Paper Players, Ann's theme is "Christmas in July!"
- Finally, at CAS on Sundays, the theme is (say it with me) "Christmas in July!"
I'm sure there are more, but that's good for me. My sharp-eyed regular friends will note the absence of NBUS for the first time in twenty posts. S'okay, no worries, it will return because I really enjoy using my unloved schtuff and I really enjoy seeing NBUS on your blogs, too!
If it's hot where you are, I hope my sparkly little Jingle in July card cools you off! No matter what, enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy. LITS*!
