Christmas In July

I don't know about where you are but here in Arkansas it is HOT so I made this Christmas card to think Cold...using a QKR Stampede stamp Melting Snowman . Boy that is exactly what would happen if a snowman was built outside now I don't think it would last 10 minutes. To make my card I used some Creative Memories and Bo Bunny papers, embossed snowflakes on a piece of cranberry cardstock and sanded it, then added a little faux stitching.
We are having a Christmas In July blog hop on July 23rd so be sure to stop back by then for more Christmas card inspiration.

    Aww, I always feel sad when I see melting snowmen. I think it stemmed from watching Frosty the Snowman as a child. He was so cute and so alive! Too funny. This card is just adorable. I love it. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week. Stay cool!

    AAAWWWWWWWWWWWWEE!!! Poor Little Guy! AT least he is happy! It has been almost 100 degrees here.. so I know that my showman would go alot quicker.. maybe I shall make my snowman out of sand ;) This reminds me of a cartoon I saw as a child called the snowman in july. (Goodbly everyblody, goodbly he said as he was melting! I cried and CRIED!!! hahah! He lived in the freezer so he could wait and see what Summer looked like... :/ )

    Anyway ~ Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Brewed Challenges!
