Christmas In July Blog Hop Day 1

Welcome to Christmas in July!

Get ready for some great ideas that you can start creating now for Christmas.
Along the way today, you'll find card and gift ideas, a scrapbook layout page or two 
and even a couple great decorating ideas. 

We hope this hop gets you in the holiday spirit a little early this year. 

You should have come from Kim's blog, if not start with Theresa!




Theresa is giving away a $20 Stampin' Up Gift Certificate to one lucky winner AND
take 10% off any order placed through her (not available on website) by July 30th. 
Email her at scrapsbygracie AT gmail.com with your order. 

All you have to do to win this fabulous prize is comment on each of the blogs.
That's it! It really is easy. 
Of course, we would love it if you became a follower too. 

Comment buttons can be found at the bottom of the post (on most of the blogs).
Now on with the hop!


I won this great stack from DCWV during an instagram giveaway.  I thought it was so neat.  I have had it on my desk to use ever since!  It is called Mercury Glass and it is the most beautiful stack!  



I used this month's DCWV Stackaholic Challenge sketch to design my card.  I hated covering up those detailed cuts, but it turned out very nice if I do say so myself.
