Keyword ssnotime45 - There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all! You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!) can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.
The challenge this week is to get a head start on your Christmas cards. Everyone has Christmas in July, so thought we would, too!!! Make any type of Christmas card you like — that’s it. It can be traditional or non-traditional. Personally, my preference is always non-traditional. Can’t wait to see what you do and, as always, try to keep it simple. Most importantly — have fun!!!
Here are some samples (please be patient as we are uploading and linking tonight):

What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!
And here’s my sample:
Here’s my non-traditional Christmas card, which also qualifies for Julie’s DTGD08 Challenge to Embrace White Space and my DTGD08 to Stamp Simply. I love simple blue and white for Christmas — so fresh and pure — like the new-fallen snow we ususally have by then.
The flourished tree from Flourished Christmas is stamped on white, cut and embossed with the my Rectangle Nestabilities. A single Pearl is added at the tree base. It is mounted onto the plain white card with foam mounting squares. The sentiment, cut and embossed with my Petitie Circle Nestabilities, is mounted with a dimensional. Steele Blue Sheer Ribbon is tied on the bottom for the finish. Quick, simple, white — and I love it!!!
