Have Yourself A Rockin' Christmas



Happy Christmas in July!  Have you all been playing along with the Christmas In july mini challenges at Catch The Bug?! I hope so, because there are some awesome prizes up for grabs! If you haven't been playing along, you still have time!  And don't forget, we're having a blog hop, too! So be sure you stop by so you can have a chance at the fabulous prizes from Bugaboo Stamps!

We have a new mini challenge for you, today, at Catch The Bug.  We want to see you make a Christmas card using an image that isn't usually for Christmas.  Oh, c'mon now, don't moan and groan! It's much easier than it sounds, really! You can make most anything work for a Christmas card! Go ahead, give it a try! You'll be surprised how easy it is!

As a matter of fact, I've done just that, using the image, Lil Dude - Guitar, from Bugaboo Stamps.  He's colored with Promarkers. I wanted to incorporate music into this one, and make it a masculine Christmas card, so I went with shades of brown and blue. My papers are patterned with glittered snowflakes, music notes, and stripes.  I decided not to use any embellishments on this one, since its totally masculine.  My card layout uses the Sketch at Sketches By Carly.


See! It's easy to use a non Christmas image to make a Christmas card! Now, come play in the challenge with us, and show us your creation!
