Christmas in August with Paper Sundaes

Happy Sunday!  This week's challenge on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is one that I've been waiting for - I ADORE Christmas!  I love the music, the decorations, the gift giving, and yes, even the snow!!  So I must admit that this challenge was picked by me, for my enjoyment - and hopefully yours too! 

The challenge this week is 'Christmas in August' and we are excited to have our regular monthly sponsor Simon Says Stamp.  Last week when I began my card, Simon had in the new line of Chrismas paper by Imaginisce 'Cottage Christmas'.  Unfortunately they are sold out, but keep a look out in store as new products arrive often!  Simon does carry Prima Flowers, Memento ink, and Copic markers.

I followed this week's sketch at Sketch Saturday which is fabulous and coloured one of my cherished hÄnglar and stÄnglar stamps in copic markers.

This card will be entered into the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - 3/2/1 (flowers/buttons/ribbon)

A Spoon Full of Sugar - 3 flowers, 2 buttons, 1 ribbon

Creative Card Crew - sparkle and shine (the paper is glossy/shiny and the Prima poinsettas are sparkly)

Stampavie and More - swirls

Cute Card Thursday - dieing for a punch (not a single punch or spellbinder used!)

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - make a start on Christmas

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your Christmas creations on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!
