Christmas in July #2

I really like having this Christmas in July tradition because it's nice to know that I'm saving myself future headaches plus, this little Christmas guy is so incredibly cute, I'm so glad I impulse bought him last year!

I've really been getting into coloring with markers lately (as you can tell by the previous Christmas card).  There's something very relaxing about coloring in the lines.  Takes me back to kindergarten!

Identifiable Elements:

• Red ribbon - "Real Red" by Stampin' Up!
• Red star paper - "Well Traveled" from the Carina Gardner Collection by Carta Bella
• Stamp set - "Llamazing Christmas" by Samantha Labonte for Scraps of Love

Crazy Love #4

Another real simple card made fabulous by bling!  I really liked making this card because I was able use Navy and Teal, two colors I don't usually think of when I'm brainstorming Valentine's Day cards, but that pleasantly surprised me.

This card was pretty quick to make but I think it will be a cute one to send out to friends.  I also was able to use up some bling that had long been collecting dust to make room for some more (as soon as I get my but over to Tuesday Morning).
