Christmas in July challenge

I saw this challenge on Jill's blog and thought it would be fun to enter.  Always good to get a head start on Christmas cards instead of waiting til the end of the year when everything is soooo busy.

I ordered PTI's vintage ornaments some time ago but haven't used it yet, so this was the perfect opportunity to try it out.  I  just bought a new camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ-10) which I'm also playing with. Very happy with the images so far - much better lens than my old camera!  Here's my card:

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white, SU baja breeze, riding hood red, cosmo cricket Jolly by Golly
Stamps - PTI vintage ornaments
Ink - SU baja breeze, riding hood red, memento tuxedo black, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - SU riding hood red taffeta ribbon, cricut die cut tag, bow easy, 2 way glue pen, clear glitter

  4. Hey Anne! What a lovely card! Glitter is such a must for Christmas, isn't it :) How are things in Auckland? Germany is boiling with temperatures around 35°C and I've already started to get a little less pale ;D Have a nice week, best wishes from Heidelberg! Nina
