Christmas In July - Using CTMH Frosted Paper and Cricut Artiste Cartridge


Hello to everyone reading this.  I am so happy you joined me for another of my creations.  I hope everyone is enjoying their time outside this summer.  It is hot here in Southern CA; but I think it is going to get hotter over the next few days.  But - no complaints.  I love our weather here.

An update on my brother in law - Darrell.  He went home from the hospital today after 21 days there this time with his chemo and stem cell transplant.  He is improving each day; but it will take a while for his strength to return.  He was so happy to get out of that hospital bed.  Please continue to pray for him.  Thanks so much for all of your prayers.  He was in pretty bad shape when I asked for prayers on here; and I know that is what helped him through this.  We are very grateful for all of you.

It is time again for another challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 72 - Christmas In July.  I have another Christmas card created; so I am really getting them done ahead of time this year.  Yeah!  We would love for you to join us in the next two weeks with a Christmas creation of yours.  Get a head start on it!  You will be glad in December that you did.  LOL!

This weeks sponsor is Sweet n' Sassy and the image I used is "Winter Friends".  Isn't this a cute image with the snowman and the birdhouse?  I just loved it when I saw it.  I used some of my retired CTMH Frosted paper; seemed appropriate for Frosty the Snowman.  LOL!
