Christmas Nativity



Hello everyone and welcome to a new challenge at Shelly's Images!  This time, we have the oh so popular theme of Christmas in July! And, what better way to get a head start on your Christmas cards, then by playing along?!  It is NEVER too early to start your Christmas cards, trust me!

Remember, our challenges now run approximately every two weeks.  New challenge start on the first and third Thursdays of the month, this gives you plenty of time to play along for your chance to win!

Oh, and while you are here, I wanted to tell that we're having a Christmas in July sale, at Shelly's Images!  To get your 50% off, use the code Christmas In July during checkout.  This is a great time to get all the images from the store that you've been wanting!



You aren't familiar with  the Shelly's Images Store?! Oh no, we have to remedy that! Click the link to be taken to the store so you can start your shopping and take advantage of the sale.  Lots of fabulous images there, to choose from!

My card uses the image nativity, from Shelly's Images, colored with Promarkers. I went with non traditional colors for my Christmas card and intentionally made it so that it could be used for a  male or female. The pearls are from my stash.  The sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. My card layout uses the sketch at Fetch A Sketch
