Ah...July...such a gorgeous time of year: the sun is shining, flowers blooming, kids playing, mowers mowing and crafters making Christmas cards. :)
Many blog sites are keeping us crafters in check and ensuring that we get a head start on our Christmas cards. JustRite is one of those blogs and their challenge this time is Non-traditional Christmas colors. I decided to make a card using white, purple (dusty concord) and kraft. Purple is a color hardly used in any of my projects so this was an enjoyable change.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all are having a fantastic week.
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
