Christmas in July

Happy Friday!  I've been complaining so much about how cold it has been lately.  My nose literally feels frozen every night :)  Yet, I have been busy making ice-creams!  All because the ice-cream maker was on special, and I could eat ice-cream anytime of the year.

Last week, I visited a craft shop near where I live, and they were celebrating Christmas in July.  So, I thought it was a good time to make some Christmas cards.


Just a simple card with the stamped image, and no patterned papers.  I bought this Phyllis Harris stamp set - "Twinkling Joy" recently, during the Unity sale.  The Unity sales are so good every week, and it makes me wish I live in the US, cos shipping would be a lot cheaper...but on second thoughts, I might go broke :)
PH-1018A-TWINKLING-JOY
Have a great day!
