Christmas In July

 

5 challenges inspired today's card...

Inspiration Station // #IS87 ...A monthly "visual prompt" challenge!!  My inspiration from July's photo prompt: the chalk board & the over all theme...CHRISTMAS IN JULY.

Double Trouble // #220 ...A "Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3" challenge!!  Thing 1 wants us to follow a "Christmas in July" recipe...3 colors (colored in my embossed image with green, red, and yellow), 2 layers (layered black card stock onto striped designer paper), and 1 holiday image (Christmas florals from Miss Ink Stamps) ...CHECK!!  Thing 2 wants us to use the sketch from Try A Sketch On Tuesday #699...CHECK!!  Thing 3 wants us to use STARS and/or STRIPES (I used both)...CHECK!!

Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT699 ...These two challenges always partner up.  Since this is a planned partnership on their part (not me picking and combining challenges) you always know they work perfectly together!!

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M521 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is MAKE YOU MARK!!  I made my mark by coloring with Stampin Up chalks.  I love the look of chalk on black paper!!

Make My Monday // #MMM282 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme  for this current challenge is CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!  Merry Christmas to you...a little bit early!!
