Christmas in July

This was inspired by Laurie Schmidlin (here) Laurie's post is about a card holder project - complete with the template instructions, so be sure to go check it out! I saved it because the rich colors just spoke to me - and I knew I'd make something with the idea someday. Last weekend the idea wormed it's way out of my head into a Christmas card!

What is it about "short weeks" - ?? I'm SO ready for the weekend! {deep sigh}

See you soon!
