Christmas In July!

Good Morning!

Well it's back to Work Experience again today, luckily I managed to get all my DT stuff made yesterday even if it did take me all day and my day off went by in a flash! lol Ah well my next day off is Thursday and then I finish on Friday so it's not all bad :) Can I just say a HUGE THANK YOU for all the comments, I really do appreciate them and love reading them! I am trying to repay the favor but I don;t always have time so I do hope you don't think I don't appreciate them ... because I do :)

Before I show today's card I thought you'd like a little peek at the latest arrival in my craft space ...

The gorgeous stamps are from a Creative Inspirations Sponsor for future challenges that they are providing the prize for, sea shells are from work that I think will look great on altered art projects and lastly a new paper trimmer! I'd been meaning to get a new one for ages and it's such a relief now that I have one that actually cuts in a straight line! lol

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
