Christmas in July
Don't know about you, but it sure doesn't feel like Christmas where I live. But with the new challenge at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie, it's time to get in the Christmas mood. This time, the challenge has two sponsors: Cute as a Button and Limited Runs. So join the fun and get a jump on your Christmas crafting. Just make a project inspired by the cookies:

My card is for these challenges

Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #343 -- anything Christmas
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Extra Challenge -- anything Christmas
HLS July Christmas Challenge -- use a die
Die Cut Divas -- Christmas in July
