Christmas In July













Hello again,

This month we are celebrating Christmas in July over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, each week we will begin a new challenge. We have one lovely sponsor each week, this week we are sponsored by Ching-Chou Kuik who have  kindly given the design team two images to work with. I have used Gingerbread Man Parade to make a very quick and easy Christmas card. 

I don't know how many of our local businesses are having Yulefest this year due to Covid-19 and associated restrictions, it is usually quite popular, especially if we have snow predicted for people to enjoy a traditional hot Christmas dinner, with carols and other festivities. While we in the Southern Hemisphere are enjoying traditional hot meals, gathering around a fireplace etc., I guess that those in the Northern hemisphere are enjoying a summer style Christmas ? 



Prize:- Same two images Design Team have used

You can see more of her amazing work via any of the below channels
They also run a Facebook challenge in their group


Here is my card:-

White 12.6 x 17.8cm card blank
Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils
Gold gel ink pen
Clear Wink of Stella (snowman)

Pinking blade on We R Memory Keepers Twist trimmer (magnetic)

Beautiful colour Megan, it’s a lovely image, great work.
Yes praying much re Covid situation in all nations,,esp settles in southern Oz in big cities. Don’t get why folk are so flippant, as a friend said it’s as contagious as head lice but potentially deadly,
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, hugs Shaz in Oz.x
