Christmas in July

 Hello & Happy Monday, Friends!

I'm trying to get some cards together using Christmas products for Christmas in July! We all have retired stash so that is what I have been focusing on using. Today I am sharing a fun fold that I paired with the Boughs of Holly DSP & Merriest Moments bundle. Everything is long retired but too pretty to not use!

Card Details:

Stamps: Merriest Moments (retired), Leaves of Holly (retired), Double D Rubber Stamps (sentiment on back)

Ink: Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Crushed Curry

Cardstock: Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Basic White, Boughs of Holly DSP (retired)

Accessories: Holly Berry Dies (retired) Merriest Frames Hybrid EF & Dies (retired), Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Gold Ribbon, Gold Circle Clip (from stash), Gold Flower Accents, Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

I am totally loving this card! The design and the mix of stamps used on it just grab my fancy! LOL 

Another one made for on the "for sale" pile this year!

My stash is getting there and with each card my stash of papers is getting used up! YAY!

Have a great day!

Boughs of Holly

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

I am way late with an update today!

I thought I got my post ready & scheduled yesterday but I guess I did not.

It's been busy ever since Shawn got in from work yesterday.

We took Kelsey to pick up a refurbished hutch that she bought off a friend from work. Then hit the Hobby Lobby on the way home. 

Once we got her unloaded and dropped off we headed home.

This morning we got up early and ran to the Vet's to pick up Bailee's medicine then a quick trip to Lancaster to do some shopping. Shawn had to be back by 11:30 because he had a car appointment but we were stopped in Red Lion for an accident which held us up about 10 minutes. He made it to his appointment with maybe a minute to spare then back home by 12:15. We picked Kelsey up and went down to Belair, Maryland to do some shopping. Made it home by supper time which Bailee was happy about! Her loves her food! Then Kelsey grabbed her Halloween decorations out of the basement and went home. I'm pooped, Shawn is pooped! Supper for the 3 of us was a bit later than usual. Once that was cleaned up I threw my pj's on and got the wash machine running. That is when I sat down and realized my blog was not updated! *sigh* I'm so sorry!

My card for today is a such a nice one that I enjoyed playing with!

I broke down and got the Boughs of Holly bundle since I already had the DSP.

Love the 2 together!
